The Truth About Christian Colleges, From Someone Who’s Been There
This month marks a year since I graduated college, and for many of you reading this, you may have just chosen where you’ll be heading in the fall. Around this time five years ago, I was in your shoes—packing up my childhood bedroom, saying goodbye to my hometown, and getting ready to start a new chapter in a new state halfway across the country.
Like many girls with Christian beliefs and strong convictions, I knew I didn’t want the typical college scene. I wanted a place where I could grow in my faith, meet people who shared my worldview, and not feel like the odd one out for having conservative values. I wasn’t looking for perfection, just a place where I didn’t have to hide who I was. With the way most secular universities operate today, that kind of environment felt increasingly rare, if not impossible to find.
