Good Christian Colleges?

I'm graduated from high school and am currently searching for a Christian College to attend. I've been looking for a while now but not many are really of interest to me. So, if any of you have some good suggestions or anything let me know. I'm open to checking it out!
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Any others would be GREATLY appreciated!

I thought about Wisconsin...but that's one area that I'm not too keen on anymore.
 
Hey I live in Michigan too! So I have checked out a few. I really liked Spring Arbor. It's in a very small town. I want to go there but its privet being that it's a Christian college so it's really expensive. I have checked out other colleges non Christian ones. A lot of them have church groups. SVSU has a bunch of them. There was another college thing I got in the mail that was a Christian college. I don’t remember the name but I think it had “Great lakes†in the name. I know my neighbor who is a minister when there. I know a few people who are going to Alma. It’s a privet school but I don’t know if it’s a Christian one or not.
 
There's John Carroll University out here in Ohio, but it's a Catholic school (I don't know if you're Catholic) and even the university I attend (even though it's secular and public) has several Christian organizations and other non-christian religion groups as well.
 
Houghton College in Houghton, NY is a wonderful choice. I'm a senior there and have greatly enjoyed my stay.

Amongst Christian colleges, it's rather prestigious academically.

It's somewhat small-ish (somewhere around 1200 Undergraduates), and the campus itself is rural and forested, so there are plenty of opportunities for community-building.

What I love most about it, though, is the diversity on campus. There are many who hold a conservative view of Christianity and politics, and many who hold a liberal view of Christianity and politics. It is truly an academic setting.
 
Make sure it is an actual college with acreditation. And secular colleges are also very good, even for christians. It's not like in Linear Algebra 2 they try to row-reduce a matrix to somehow show that there was no ressurection.
 
AsktheA~

You need to READ the OP, this Christian is looking for a good "Christian college". Unless you know of some to offer ~ your advice is out-of-line with the original OP.

"Christ For The Nations" thats all I got to say its in Texas and it's a great Bible believing and Holy Spirit Filled College. And theres awesome people there with plenty of choices in studies. Or there is ORU Oral Roberts University with even more studies.
 
Not sure if you're after a seminary or not (i'm not at all sure how the American education system works) but my vote would go to Fuller. If i could relocate to America for a couple of years and had a scholarship to pay my fees i'd be doing my Masters through Fuller right now.
 
A few of my friends have gone to Florida College in Temple terrace (near Tampa) and they loved it! I wish I could have been able to go there! I've also had friends go to Harding University. Both are very good schools.

Is it must for you to attend a christian college?
I suppose god requires us to only mingle with christians on our daily paths.
 
Well it depends on if you want to move or not. Personally I went to Bob Jones University (www.bju.edu) for my first semester at college. I really had a hard time transitioning from high school to college at first and decided to move back. BJU seemed to be alright. A little on the legalistic side, but Biblically rooted.

Later I eventually did my B.S. online through Liberty University (www.liberty.edu). FANTASTIC college. Very Biblically rooted, good education, low tuition, options to do my college online or in class, and was overall a great experience. The only problem with their online degrees is that they are fairly limited.

My wife started to do her college online as well through Grand Canyon University (www.gcu.edu). Another Biblically grounded school, a little more expensive but they offer more degrees online. Although it did seem as though many of the students were completely and utterly technologically challenged... I just thought that was strange. A little frusterating when you try to do a group project with people who can't use a computer... but could have been chance.

Hope these ideas help you. Let me know if you end up going to one. PM me anytime with questions.
 
Wow, I just looked at the original date of this thread and you could almost be done with your bachelors, lol. Oh well, at least I posted some info on my experiences for others to see also.
 
Sometimes the best colleges for a Christian youth are not the so-called Christian colleges. I was against going to such colleges as the University of San Diego and Georgetown University (was thinking of Duke because I was Methodist at the time) because I did not want religion (I do not see myself as religious, aka following rituals...it is about faith and that will set us free) forced on me.

I don't know how it all happened the way it did, but I ended up attending The George Washington University in Washington D.C., which I would not say is a Christian college (surprisingly very religious but equally split among unbelievers, Christians, Jews, and Muslims). There I found the Church in which I still belong and it is where I belong.
 
Any of the Assemblies of God schools. There's like 16 or something in the US. I really love the one I go to. :)
