If you're not a member of your local CoC church, you won't feel welcomed here. Students are pious and self-righteous and are not tolerant of other religions. I am an Atheist, and a very reserved at that - I never give opinion or stance on religion unless I'm asked, simply to avoid conflict, however, simply stating you're an Atheist, Muslim, Hindi, or anything else outside the comprehension of red-neck bible-bashers, be prepared to be alienated from all your "friends".

Education here sucks - you have to have 30 hours of Chapel *every semester*, if you miss even ONE before the end of the semester they take away your scholarships. Make this mistake twice and they will expel you. This is a mockery of higher education where you're treated like a child in everything you do.

They separate the sexes here like it's the middle ages and holding your boyfriend or girlfriend's hand is almost taboo. None of the dorms are co-ed and they only have "open dorms" for guys about 3 times a semester. Even then it's all doors open, RA's are in your business and a bunch of annoying, horney church boys blast dubstep from their room to impress the 3 or 4 chicks who actually come. It's pathetic.

Also - this is not a challenging school. The "60% acceptance rate" is a joke, they will let anyone in. There are people here who scored lower than 23 on their ACT and were allowed in on scholarships.

Don't come to LU - I'm transferring the chance I get, along with a handful of other people who don't want a useless degree.
