Moderator's note: This post and the two that follow were originally part of the Going back to college... thread in the Prayer Requests/Praise Reports Forum. I've moved it here because discussion/debate is not the purpose of the Prayer/Praise Forum.
It is no doubt a noble cause indeed, though I doubt the effectiveness of stuck up educational institutes, I understand it is the way forward for everyone at some point of life. Praying as regardless of who they are, you will need to get past them.
And yes I am suspecious of everyone lol but just a thought, whats so different between them bullying students and the pharisees of old? Depends on the institution of course, there are good people and there are bad and I would refrain from branding them all just because of a few personal stories I heard. However I've heard many pastor wannabes being outright overworked and put through hard assignments and stuff and having to be all 'goody two shoes' in front of their professors just like in a Law course, which is what I believe NOT a good, conducive, mutual equality, friendly, warm, cozy, sunday school like atmosphere (hey maybe I got a good sunday school though I still resent being forced to go, I should have had it explained to me rather than drag me kicking and screaming in but the staff did a good job and for that I am grateful) which I initially expected Bible College to be. Not in a pressured, university/collage environment meeting deadlines and the expectations of others.
Sorry if my comments are not welcome, but just had to think and I wish you all the best. My aim is definitely NOT to discourage you, as you were already there (inb4 haters gona hate). Just questioning authority.
