I am an alumnus with fair involvement and am a former resident of the area. If the following traits are a match for you, you will surely enjoy college life at ABC. If not, continue looking.

ABC has an attractive and ever-expanding campus, not great but better than average dorms, an adequate library, and a wonderful family atmosphere. The price is outstanding. Christian charactor is modeled and stressed. The faculty is small, but qualififed and involved in student's lives. Don't be deceived in thinking this is "Hicktown, USA"! Bradley/Beckley is a beautiful growing, friendly community surrounded by wonderful state and national parks. A mall provides jobs and shopping in walking distance of ABC. Students are warmly received by area churches. Your education is limited to very conservative, "fundamental" thought and practice. There will be no "thinking outside the box". Local churches that use praise music, small group ministry, or non-traditional forms of evangelism are off limits, even if the church is sound in doctrine, and these practices are highly criticized by some instructors. As for the more conservative campus guidelines, most students endure rather than embrace them.
