I
am a first-year at Calvin, after going to a small
Christian school in the south-east and spending a little while
at community college. I grew up in a Christian home,
generally attending Baptist or nondenominational churches. I have been wholeheartedly
disappointed by the Christian climate at Calvin. My first week
in my religion class (REL 121), my professor said, “You
have to be like an ostrich with your head in
the sand to ignore the evidence for evolution and believe
in a 6-day creation.” There is a strong push on
campus for gender equity and acceptance for persons with non-traditional
sexual preferences or self-identities. (a push for acceptance, not a
push for Christ-like love; there are little to no references
to Scripture in all of the various speeches, posters, workshops,
etc. presented on the topic). The majority of my professors
have been extremely liberal in their Scripture interpretations, theological beliefs,
and social ideas. The icing on the cake is that
all of this is presented in a way that makes
me feel prejudiced against and pressured to change my beliefs.

Responses| I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I appreciate your specific examples about how the college is unbiblical in its teachings. I recommend that you seriously consider transferring to the Masters College in Santa Clarita, CA. My daughter visited here and ended up choosing to attend a state school, but we were both extremely impressed with the college's emphasis on biblical truth. |
 I am sorry that Calvin wasn't a good fit for you. I also was raised in a Christian household and your description of Calvin sounds absolutely perfect from my point of view. I hope you find what you are looking for. |
