My experience has definitely been
mixed. I will give the positive first. In my department,
I have professors that actually care for your growth in
the Lord. I have friends that are on fire for
God. I have grown a lot in the Lord the
past year and a half. Not to mention, a great
library and the food is above average. Also, being near
to Chicago is always a plus.
But here are the negatives, there is a
lot of complacency on-campus. There are a lot of two-faced
people. With no one caring about “Trinity expectations”, they can
get away with “unspeakables” on a Saturday and go to
church on Sunday, as if nothing happens. People expect Chapel
three days a week is enough, when its not. How
you are judged is heavily based on how you can
interact on-campus. It's extremely cliquey, if you are an athlete,
you hang with athletes, music student with music students, etc. So
the advice part. If you are looking for a Christ-centered
university and expect to grow in Christ, the recipes are
here. But it is your responsibility to put it together
and put yourself in the oven and grow in God.
Growth doesn't come on a silver platter. And it's like
that at any Christian College. Recipes are 1)Be in God's
word and pray 2)find the RIGHT, Christ-centered friends, 3)let chapel
enhance your walk with Christ, don't rely on it. (Find
a Church to get plugged in at) 4) Don't stay
in the “Bubble” be out in public (by public, I
mean off campus.) Don't let judgement rule your life. There
is judgement at every university. If you want to prove
wrong to judgement, just live your life and people will
shut-up. And if you are an athlete that doesn't love
or believe in God and/or expect this college to be
the gateway to the big-times. Only one football player and
one baseball player made it to the big times in
the past 12 years. And you never heard of their
name. So if you are in it for the sports,
don't waste 30 grand, to play a sport that will
get you nowhere professional. If you are an athlete that
loves God and want to grow, I highly recommend it.
And for the person that loves to party, its not
a party school either and you will probably hate being
here.
