Large or Small Christian college?

Question

With your experience, would you go to a small, local Christian college, or a larger one?

Why?

Answer 1

A smaller campus allows for greater interaction and familiarity with other students. Larger campuses are typically more expensive.

Hope this helps!

Booyakasha!

Answer 2

Dear Law Jick,

I would not attend any christian college at this particular time. A christian college will come under the authority of a church or denomination. The Bible tells us at this particular time we are in the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24). Incidently, all the denominational churches have utilized a faulty hermeneutic (method of Bible interpretation) which does not permit them to understand many portions of the Bible correctly. Many churches teach that the Great Tribulation is a period of 7 years but it is a period of 23 years that began in 1988. If you read 2 Thessalonians 2, you will understand that the Holy Spirit has departed from ALL the local congregations and satan is now ruling there. The terrible thing is that if the Holy Spirit is not in the local churches, there is no possibility of anyone being saved there, regardless of the accuracy of the preaching. If you look at Matthew 24:15, 16 the Bible is telling the true believers (saved) to get out of the church and go to Christ (Pslam 121; mountain). The true believers will be studying the Bible because it is the word of God. It is like sitting at the feet of Jesus. Also in Revelation 18, the Lord tells us to get out of the church because it is become Babylon--where satan is now ruling.

Answer 3

It depends on your goals. I attended a small (850 student) Methodist school, majored in religion & music, and had a good time. I did well, so I had an easy time entering graduate school. However, my younger brother flunked out of the same school.

If you don't know what you want to do, try going 1-2 years to the local school. If you then reach a decision, you can transfer to a school more targeted toward your ultimate goals.
