This is less aQuite BrightEnglish
This is less a university and more a cult. I left at my first chance to transfer into another school. Run far, far away from this place. Do not go here

Question
Some teachers are great,Quite BrightAccounting
Some teachers are great, but some are awful. Avoid Karen Rowe and Al Carper. Karen is just cruel, and Al is a horrible teacher who will change quiz dates and assignments without telling students. He tries to trick them into not succeeding. That is not prep for real life.

Question
Seriously, please don't go here.Communications
Seriously, please don't go here. I was a student there for many years and worked on staff for several years. Yes, you can be blind for that long. You can think it's really you who is the problem and you should do God's will, when it's really who you're associated with that you should be running away from fast! Although there are some genuinely nice people there, the overall mentality and worldview taught is cultish, sheltered, and condescending. I will not even go into the many people I've interacted with there who are just nasty; their sweet, "spiritual" disposition is all surface; when they have to deal with pressure or people who are going through real-life problems, you wouldn't even guess they were "Christians." The only ones who will "grow there spiritually" are basically those who are already geared toward or part of the legalistic fundamental crowd. They go to the Bob Jones-approved churches and thrive and flourish there. At school they flourish some more then everyone goes back home to witness to the rest of the heathen families and world that don't think like them. Please, just go to a real school that will give you an accredited degree and if you're seeking a Christian school, go to one that teaches biblical Christianity.
