<p>Wondering if anyone is familiar with any colleges affiliated with a Friends denomination?</p>
<p>Most of the college students at my church attend one in the area, but I'm not quite smitten with it.</p>

<p>For clarification, you mean the Quakers?</p>
<p>We visited Guilford College in NC last fall. Lovely campus, proud Friends (Quaker) heritage (a stop on the Underground Railroad), undergrad focused education. My S found it a bit "sleepy" for his taste, but if you are interested in a LAC with a purpose, you may want to check it out.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>And yes, I did mean Quaker -- whether it be the General Conference or Evangelical Friends Church. I've grown up in a Friends church and I'm interested in going to a Christian College; The Friends would be a good place to start, I think.</p>
<p>I only know of Swarthmore and Earlham, and I am not too sure if they are currently affiliated.</p>
<p>Look at Friends University in Wichita, and George Fox University in Newberg, OR.</p>
<p>I'd actually suggest going outside your denomination. Exploring the rest of Christianity would be a great broadening experience. Most good Christian colleges don't really hold to their denominational roots and hire faculty from across all of evangelical Christianity.</p>
<p>Haverford, also. </p>
<p>I would think that going to an evangelical Christian college could be a rather negative experience for someone whose exposure to organized Christianity in that of the Friends.</p>
