I don't have a problem with religious colleges if they are accredited and teaching conventional academic subjects.

This school doesn't sound like Liberty University, or some of the other kooky institutions.

They were the first women's college in South Carolina, and their catalog claims their biology classes are teaching evolution, not creationism. They don't seem to give off a really kooky vibe.

It can't be fun for kids who wanted to finish their education there but are now stuck with trying look for transfers to other schools, I kinda feel sorry for them.

Sad, but if they've been losing students for the past decade, their business model is wrong. Christian or not.
 
The biggest, whiniest wimps on JPP are MAGAts. They are like gang-members who lack the integrity to be honest and forthright. No wonder their lives are so miserable.

Is this suppose to prove something? Or is it like Viagra to you? Here's a fun fact that will really get you going.

Over the last 10 years, from 2015 to 2025, an estimated 432 colleges and universities in the U.S. have closed, including 164 private nonprofits, 263 for-profits, and 5 publics, mostly due to financial struggles and declining enrollment.
