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.
Yeah. I'm glad I didn't attend this school as an Undergrad. However, for a Christian school lots of these kids at my Uni seem like party animals. Whenever I'm walking out of class I walk by a set of dorms and I can usually hear a party going on. haha

Reminds me of that episode of George Lopez in which his mother steals the $10,000 his baseball coach gave him when he died. But the Mom pocketed the money, bought a new car and took them to Vegas. haha
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
