Who is one of Jehovah's Witnesses that is currently attending a 4-year College or plans to ?

My sister and her husband (both Jehovah's Witnesses) are currently attending Berkeley University. Her husband was just accepted at Cambridge.





Also in Davis (U.C.D.) and Berkeley the local congregations are practically all students of the university.





I am not currently attending but a grad, does that count?

I personally am not Currently attending, but a dear sister attended, with her roommate, and roommate's daughter.





A family friend's daughter, had just finished college when we saw her a couple years ago in Cali.





I don't know off hand any Witnesses, that I know for sure, are Currently attending, but then I don't press people to tell me there private business.
Reply:I attended for 2 years, got an associate of Science degree in Electronics Technology. Later thought about and started on classes for an engineering degree, but by then had too many responsibilities (kids, husband, house, need to work etc) to complete it.





Higher education isn't forbidden. It is simply that our God should always come first in our lives. Sometimes such programs just take up too much time.
Reply:We did have a young sister who was going to college to become a teacher, she went 2 years while pioneering, she enjoyed pioneering so much that she gave up college and is doing very well in the ministry as well as in our congregation.
Reply:I'm currently in a 2-year nursing program. But, it pretty much takes 4-5 years to become an RN. I might go to Cal State afterwards, but I like taking things one step at a time. Who knows....I might change my mind. :) The time left is reduced.
Reply:Im graduated from IT school and my hubby who was born as a JW is an Optometrist. I know a lot of young bros and sis even elders children who are attending college right now.
Reply:I am graduate of Accountancy (4 year course in the Philippines - some even 5 years)
Reply:Jehovah's Witnesses I've known frown upon higher education as a matter of principle.
Reply:My niece.


My friend.
