troglodyte Walk-on
A few counterpoints:
- That safe space you mention also is homogeneous and devoid of people who look and think differently than you.
- That safe space is enforced both officially and through cultural pressure. The pressure to look and think the same as everyone else is immense.
- The university as a whole is great if you want to go somewhere if you just want your existing beliefs to be reinforced. Not so great if you want to be challenged.
- The culture can be incredibly toxic, with a high focus on external appearance (both in terms of physical beauty and in terms of spiritual assessment).

I say this as someone who spent 20 years there first as a student and then as an employee in various roles.
