Students and parents often have high expectations of the Christian college experience. They imagine professors who are spiritual mentors, roommates who are spiritual kin, and a host of other ideal relationships and environments which will combine to boost their growth to maturity.
The truth is that a Christian college, like any other college or university, is an exciting, unpredictable and scary place. That's why Keith Anderson has put together this essential backpack companion. Including seasoned and straightforward advice on how to maintain a healthy spiritual life, building friendships and finding community, the dos and don'ts of dating, how to get involved in a new church, and much more, What They Don't Always Teach You at a Christian College will help students make the most of their college days.
