This time of year, college campuses like the one where I live fill up with high school seniors preparing to make what feels like a momentous choice. “Nope.”Choosing a college based on where you feel comfortable is a mistake. The most rewarding forms of education make you feel very uncomfortable, not least because they force you to recognize your own ignorance. Either way, a college education should enable you to discover capabilities you didn’t even know you had while deepening those that provide you with meaning and direction. And that’s why it’s inspiring to see Muslim and Jewish students camped out together to protest a war they think is unjust.
