I actually know a few kids that went to Liberty and loved it. As Barron’s points out drinking until you puke and having roommates who think nothing of having their date of the day sleep over is not for everyone. Not for me but I am also highly sensitive to gross generalizations. Everyone chooses their college for different reasons. There are obviously Christian colleges like Hope that are completely on the other end of the Spectrum from Liberty and almost indistinguishable from any other private college.
@MACmiracle well score one for me for not seeing your question about Saint Vincent for two months 
I know co-ed visitation rules there were a little stricter than my daughter liked, but I’m not sure about the details. I hope you’ve found some great schools!
@PAclgmom Lol! Thanks for the reply!
We visited St. Vincent since I asked the question. I found out the freshman dorms at least are separated into male and female pods. A student can visit a pod of the opposite sex from 10 am to 12 am, I think. But visitors must be brought into the pod by a resident because dorm outside doors and pod doors are locked.
The rooms were a nice size and the some of the views from the dorms were really beautiful. The pods are shaped like an H with rooms along each side with a large central meeting are.
I actually though it was a nice set up for making friends, working together, and still giving kids a chance for privacy.
So why consider a so-called Christian College at all?
Isn’t there an affordable public alternative?

It depends on the school and culture. Christian schools are widely diverse. Some are pretty laid back and accepting with religion, like TCU. Others are like living in a foreign country, like BYU. Best way to know is to tour the school and see how the vibe is.
I disagree @coolguy40 . The first step is to read online whether they have any sort of “moral contract” that requires things like “no premarital sex” “no drinking even if you’re 21 on or off campus” “homosexuality not allowed”, and perhaps whether or not it has chapel requirements. If it has any of those, it’s an incredibly religious school, and probably not worth touring if you don’t subscribe that sort of religious beliefs.
BYU is a Mormon school, not Christian.
It’s the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormons are Christian.
That strongly depends on who you ask haha
Without wanting to get into a religious war, Mormons are not Christian in the classical sense, though they do use Christian-like language. They are, for instance, not Trinitarian (Trinity of Persons, in unity of Substance). but Tritheists (three Gods in one Godhead). They believe that God has a body of flesh and blood. They add another book to the canon of Scripture. They believe in baptism of the dead. I mention this in no way to denigrate their beliefs (to each his own!), but because if a student has been brought up in the wider Christian tradition, and subscribes to classic theological formularies, and this is important to her/him, Mormonism will not be a good fit.
