What?

I had to ask a prospective student why he was no longer attending his other school in the US and this is what he responded:
I dropped because i really don't like the ceremony of this Transcendental Meditation
UPDATE: I asked him what he meant, like if the school was religious, and got the following response:
Yea its like a practice and its against my religious value. Although the concept is good and very nice, its gives you a better idea of getting hundred percent mental alertness without any stress but the practice and the ceremony involves is against my own religion. Thank you
