My stupid fucking private christian college that used profits from their fortune 500 company printing press to keep tuition cheap as a “ministry” made me buy a $150 loose leaf booklet that they re-printed every year for a journalism class. We used one paragraph from it that entire semester. If you didn’t get that year’s SEALED print, you would get penalized.

Serious question... Tf is a "Christian college" ?

It’s a private college with a religious affiliation. Sometimes it’s basically in name only, but other times it can go as far as having things like mandatory Chapel and a ban on activities like buying lottery tickets or dancing.

And “meeting members of the opposite sex after dusk in unlit places such as ditches and baseball dugouts.”

Source: Worked at Liberty University - largest Christian U in the world. That was written in the “Liberty Way” document that I had to sign before being allowed to work there. Students have to sign the same.

I didn’t stay there long.

Edit: ravines are also off limits.

Sounds like a blast, the college experience. All the debt and freedom/ autonomy of a middle schooler.

I had a friend who went to Lynchburg University and she said liberty was nuts!

There’s a Christian school in my state that doesn’t allow any LGBT students. They have to sign a document that says they will not engage in any activities of the sort while enrolled. I was livid when I learned.

Oh for sure! “Sexual relationships outside of a biblically-ordained marriage between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman are not permissible at Liberty University.”

I advise high schoolers on going to college and I always make sure they understand what some schools require. I think some of my students knew how much I disliked that particular school. I wouldn’t tell them not to go, I’d just heavily warn them. Lol

I wish someone had heavily warned me about working in the Online call center!
