These are behaviors that I’m really not ok with, and I think if I go to a non-Christian college I’ll be prevented from giving these opinions, and I never want to be prevented from spreading His word.

If you go to a Christian college, you won’t be spreading His word. Period. Students at a Christian college have heard God’s word, whether or not they choose to listen to it and obey it is an entirely different story.

If you go to a normal college, you WILL be able to find others who have similar beliefs to yourself to help keep you grounded in your faith as well as those who do not know God. If you want to spread His word, which as a Christian you should, then you have to get out and about with the non-believers.

Also, I should note that going to a Christian college does NOT mean that you will be away from very bad behavior and sinners. A lot of people end up going to Christian colleges not of their own free will or choose a school for reasons outside of religion. (I have an agnostic friend who really wanted to go to Catholic schools because religion interested her and the education is good, but she’s not at all religious herself.)

What you have to keep in mind is what God wants for you. He has a plan for you. You need to pray about it. If he tells you that going to a Christian college is what’s right, then do it. But remember, often God doesn’t lead us in the easiest paths.
