I did half of my undergraduates at a private Christian university, then later transferred to a public school due to finances. At the Christian university there was more of an academic sense of community that I enjoyed. Professors would host dinners at their homes for students, and the smaller class sizes allowed for better discussions to be had about a given topic. In my public university there were maybe 500 students per class, so its very difficult to connect with your professors or engage in discussions.
Academically both schools are pretty much identical. They all have to follow the same curriculum, and basically use the same textbooks. Classes differ by professor, so there's just as much variation within each school as there is between them. However, I did feel as if the Christian school was more rigorous, in the sense that we had more assignments due and attendance was mandatory. In the public university you could miss class all semester and only show up during exams and pass the class. Projects, attendance, and assignments are simply not practical with 500 students.
I enjoyed both equally, but for their unique reasons.
