STAY AWAY! Go to a different Adventist or Christian school. Southern is all about the dollar bill. They threatened to take away my financial aid if I decided to move off campus without their permission because I'm not 21 even though I am a senior. They treat you like a child at this institution, & the teachers are so close minded. I made a speech about same sex marriage and my speech teacher got upset, walked out while I was presenting, and gave me an F for that speech. He told me that it was wrong of me to even speak about that topic. So much for freedom of speech. Also, my biology professor took the time out in class for what he called "worship" in which he ranted about how mad he was that people of color and women are getting more leadership roles, and white males are losing them, and how Hollywood makes people of color look so smart. His words exactly. This school is not christian at all. If you're a woman or a person of color, expect to be treated like a second rate citizen. While they are lenient on the boys, and allow them to bring their flat screen TVs and game consoles, if you're a girl forget about it. The deans said girls aren't allowed to bring things like that. Also, there was no way for me to study, work, and participate in the 40+ worship programs that're mandatory. If you miss one, at the end of the semester you have a large fine.

The students here are very judgmental and have a holier than thou attitude. This is extremely ironic, seeing as if you go on the trails on campus, you'll find condom wrappers in the bushes, and on top of the Goliath Wall. The girls will give you rude remarks and stares if you don't dress like Ellen G. White reincarnated, and take pleasure in calling other girls whores to their face if they don't look like them.

For a church with the health message, this school is extremely unhealthy. They smother everything with cheese and salt, and try to sell you Debby Cakes. Forget about eating vegetables and fruits because they mark up the healthy foods and make them so expensive to buy!

I would never send my child to this school. I am transferring because of the sexism, racism, and ignorance I've experienced and endured at this institution while they put up a false show for your parents, pretending to be Christians.
