What is the difference between Christian colleges and Non-Christian colleges?
There are many factors that need to be considered when choosing a Christian college or a Non-Christian college. The social atmosphere is one of the factors. Some colleges require the students to sign a contract restraining them to drink, go to parties, and such things like that. The professors are also more friendly. They keep their emails open and give out their phone numbers for any questions. You aren't just a number to them, you're a person and they care about you. Usually private Christian colleges are a lot more expensive than regular colleges but, many colleges of course offer financial aid, scholarships, and many more ways to get money for the college you want to attend.
What is the life of a student athlete in college?
In high school, the life of a student athlete is easy compared to the life of a student athlete in college. Not everyone you ply with in high school is getting a scholarship to a college to play that specific sport. Only a few select athletes are chosen to continue their journey. Usually your summer break isn't three months, it's 10 days. You have "optional workouts" which means that you usually have to stay on campus in the summer working hard preparing for the upcoming season. Waking up for weight room with your team at five A.M. then going straight back to your dorm to shower and then go off to all your classes for the day. Then ending your day with a two hours practice only to come back to your dorm with all your homework to do. Keep in mind it's like this every day and some weekends your traveling to play games. But, if you really love the sport you're going to play then you will enjoy college and the experience. It may be difficult at times but if it were easy then everyone would do it!
