That could be true, but many people do believe that those things are more distractions then an essential part of learning. I know several guys that went to all-boys Catholic high school, and I'm sure all of them would say that they were less distracted at that time then they are now. Whether that is true or not depends on the person.

yes, that's a high school though. thing is, depends what you are learning. ok, memorize all the trig identity.. give a 5 year old enough time he/she could do it. i mean, what do you do in college? write a book reports in the sense of summary because you don't understand how the male characters feel in his struggle deciding between physical and emotional relationship? i am under the assumption this is an liberal arts university, and if it is, for you to understand liberal arts, you need to experience life wheather it's "morally correct" or not. To write about tragidy you need to experience it, you write about lows and highs, you have to experience it. To explain emotions of human interactions, you might need to meet a girl and find out how it feels to have a broken heart. these are just some examples (pretty bad ones actually.. but o' well) If you ever read Charles Dicken's Hard Time, you can see how emotional restriction on people can be devastating to their develpment to a full person and intellectually. of course that's an extreme example, but the intention of Dicken's novel was to display the danger of quantatitve ultitarianism or strict Kantian education, which in a sense are reflected by some of the rules there.


that's my 2 cents~ if you like living by strict moral standards and not experience both logical and emotional or perhaps, physical and spiritual, facets of life, fine~ go and attend this college which supposely promote "liberty"...

It isn't a Liberal Arts school, it's a private university run by Christian fundamentalists.

I have a few friends who attend the Cincinnati Bible College...I tried to find an online handbook, with no success. I wonder if it's as strict? While the friends that go there are very religious (obviosuly), they're also a little...hmmm...I was going to say wild, but that doesn't really fit. Let's just say "less tame" than the Liberty rules would imply.

Definitely going to ask to see the handbook when I get home.

GD i can't imagine anyone who'd be crazy enough to voluntarily go to that school! but that statement is sounding a little prejudiced of me i guess. whatever floats their boat, but please leave me out of it!

i'm glad my parents didn't try to send me to some overly religious school....i'd prolly be expelled for bad conduct if so.
