when I make this statment I could be wrong. Everyone needs a college education weather it is going to a christian college or a public college. When the student graduates high school I believe it is up to him and god on weather or not a christian college is right for them. I dont believe that other people should pressure the kid to go to a christian college after high school because sometimes a christian college is not always right for the high school grad. The only rason that I am bringing this subject up is because there are alot of people that are pressuring the high school grads into going to a christian college. By all means if that is what they want to do I am proud of them and am behind them 100%. But, I dont think that they should be pressured into going to one. What is your stand on going to a christian college?

I wonder what kind of Christian college you are talking about. Because here in our country even in Christians college non-Christians outnumber Christians so I think it is ok since there is fair amount of interaction between adherents of different religion. But if a Christian college is exclusively for Christians and there is no interaction with others at all that would not be so ideal.

Here in the USA there are Christian Colleges just for Christians only. Hyles Anderson College, Grace Baptist College, Champion Baptist College etc. These are just a few of independant fundamental baptist church/colleges who only accept christians ONLY.

oh like that? But I wonder if that is healthy cos it's like cutting off from the 'world'... and I would feel the same if there were colleges only for Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus etc.

It depend the employment moods. Because here in my country for you to be employed, the consider the college or university you attend. He you studied in public colleges or universities, the chances of you being employed by the goverment is high. But if you studied in other instituition not the public one the chances of employment if very little. So people consider the public colleges and universities because of consideration in employment.

By all means, I don't think a student should be pressured to go to Christian college. Upon graduating high school, alot of the guys in my youth group were going to the local Christian college. I had received numerous scholarship offers to play soccer at other colleges and decided to not go to a Christian college even though I could have went and played soccer at the Christian college. My buddies and a lot of people at church gave me grief because they wanted me to go play soccer at the Christian college and get the Christian experience. Funny thing happened. Out of the five or six from my group that went to the Christian and graduated, only half are active in their church. I, the one who did not go to Christian college, am the one who is the most active. For lack of better term, I am a youth minister but I don't get paid. Bottom line, it doesn't matter where you go, but what you do with where you go.
