Colleges That Change Lives - the real scoop?

As others have said, the book written many years ago by Loren Pope was very limited in the colleges described and mentioned. It’s not a big fat college guide. Also, much has changed from those years.

Look at it as a first step, a sampler of some schools that may not be first on your list to check out, and work from there. I’m sure many more schools belong on the list. Look at ones nearby that are hidden gems.

The CTCL web site does include Lynchburg commentary. Do check it out

Lynchburg was the perfect school for two people I know, but it does not have the more general appeal of Denison, IMO. There is a very strong religious climate there, though not as pervasive as a number of evangelical schools. It’s certainly not like those schools that are religious in heritage and history only. Because it is a very small college.’, and the Church if Christ presence is so very strong, a large number of students I know felt it was just not for them.
