Ugh, yes. Or this:
Reaching out to other students is easier for the faithful who live in regular campus housing. Senior Kathryn Nelson, 22, a Crusade member from *******, Ohio, recalls how she invited the atheist girl across the hall in her old dorm to join her at Bible study and would talk with the Jewish girl two doors down about faith. Now that she shares a house with nine other Christians, she has lost such casual, everyday interactions. "When you're living with people who aren't Christians, your ministry is right in front of your face," she says.
My sophomore year when I lived in the dorms, I basically was that atheist girl and my roommate was that Jewish girl. There was a girl on our floor who continually invited us to her Bible study and prayer groups. She seemed very sweet, but her insistence on not respecting our choice of religious faith was off-putting, and we never ended up becoming friends with her because we just felt awkward around her.
