Lipscomb University smothers its students. There is no original thought or healthy argument in most classes. The few Professors that go around the crazy Church of Christ policies are gems, and their classes are usually the best.

I transferred here from The King's College in NYC, where students were taught that arguments done in a respectful way are healthy and help them to grow and learn. Lipscomb has an

our way or the highway

mentality, which most students don't care about because they either ignore it or were brought up with similar beliefs.

I went into this school knowing it was Christian-based, but I was not aware of just how closed-minded their curriculum is. For example, in my PR class, we have to choose a CHRISTIAN nonprofit company to represent for our final projects. This was a huge conflict of interest for me because although I am a Christian, I feel that it is good for students to branch out into the secular world and learn how to communicate with all kinds of people with all kinds of thoughts and beliefs.

In short, don't go here. Some professors and classes are phenomenal and helpful, but in the end, it is a waste of money if you want a well-rounded view of the world.

P.S.

Their parking is atrocious.

Well, nice not to get mugged or bricks thrown at you as you attend classes and camous actvities. I'm sure you'll use some of the things you graded evenly and harshly.

I agree with you on some histories and policies of the school. I would have thought it was neat to try and expalin how you would be responsible and marketable, while explaining you arrr representing a company that has a request and preference for Biblical suggested responses and options. It's all good, these resources arew a manner and media for impproving the University 4 year experience for all.
