Re: why is it mostly the failures at uni/college that turn to religion?
I have seen all kinds though. My mentorr went to Columbia Med school and dropped out to go back to Karrachi Darul Uloom to become an Alim. He now teaches at Darul U'loom New York.
And he has done a great job in recruiting some really smart kids in the program.
I backed out, however.
I dont know about the situation in the UK or pakistan though.
