Considering a faith based school for college

[JS2011]

Anyone have any experience?

I am thinking about attending a catholic school in florida but want to hear some opinions on going to a school that is rooted in a religon.

I go to a Christian based Uni and don't regret it at all. I'm not sure how similar/different a Catholic Uni would be though.

I graduated from and now work for a Baptist College in Georgia. If you are a Christian, why attend a college that will not value what you do? In other words, what does a state school have to offer besides prestige that a Christian school does not.

I know of many christian colleges that don't offer these courses:

Physical anthropology
Geology
Evolutionary biology
Genetics
Philosophy of love/sex
Anthropology of love/sex
Paleontology


So if you plan on going into a field related to these academic studies, then I'd suggest going to a creditted university that actually acknowledges concrete scientific issues. There aren't many Christian colleges that will teach you (honestly) about evolution, biology, and anthropology. Why would a Christian school teach anthropology, when the concepts therein directly contradict the school's uniform theological ideals and practices?

I would suggest to everyone that unless you're going into a field directly related to religion or theology, to attend a college that has no religious affiliation.

^Mine does. Then again, I go to the most liberal of all the AG schools in the United States. haha

Christian School in South Florida

[FONT=&quot]I did my graduation at Sheridan Hills [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Christian School in South Florida[/FONT]. [FONT=&quot]As per my experience in Christian school was good. [/FONT]i prefer [FONT=&quot]Christian school than public school, as it offers fully accredited co-educational programs by professional teachers. [/FONT]

If you step out of line in a faith based school it can wreck your academic career and set you back years if you have to transfe, this goes back to my tithing post, where you don't have many rights even though your the one paying. Not the way I like to be treated as a paying client

That prestige is actually quite valuable especially in engineering or hard science
