Hi,
So my son is a junior in high school and looking at colleges this year. He wants to go to a Christian college (i.e. Evangelical not Catholic), and we are familiar with the schools near us and the Midwest.
But he’d really also like to visit some schools in a warmer climate, east coast…
I just can’t figure out good options…
Other schools we are considering, Cedarville, Messiah, Taylor, Gordon, Grove City, Geneva, Houghton, Eastern Nazarene College…
He wants to major in Computer science.
Stats - 3.4 gpa, probably will be @ 1150-1200 SATs, decent extra curricular activities… Very good charter high school in Delaware.
So what are similar southern colleges?
Thanks
Samford is Christian and top-notch academically. Look into Campbell, Gardner Webb, Anderson, Claflin, Erskine, Newberry.
Wofford is worth looking into, as well as Troy (public but it has a Christian dorm and most students choose to participate in the many Christian clubs).
Have you looked at Pepperdine, Point Loma Nazarene, Westmont, Cal Baptist, Azusa, Biola, George Fox - good weather, good colleges
You could consider Covenant College in GA. It’s a small college, but my oldest son went there and seemed to get a good education (business for him). He found a job right out of college. He also knew students who were CS majors and said they had decent offers upon graduation too. I recall at least one having very nice (aka good salary) choices.
It will mainly depend upon if he wants a small school or not. The school is located right outside of Chattanooga, TN, but it’s up on a mountain, so nowhere near typical college civilization. This didn’t bother my lad, but many students want more “life” around them. The school is definitely evangelical Christian. We aren’t totally in line with their beliefs (though are Christian), but it didn’t matter for my guy. He was still included in everything, etc, and had good friends.
