Columbia International University

This is where I will end up going to seminary probably next Summer/Fall after I finish up my Masters of Teaching starting this Fall.

I choose this place:

(1) because of it attracts denominations of all kinds and because I hope to gain a more ecumenical understanding of Christianity; I do not know much about these other denominations.

(2) because I need to stay in South Carolina close to my mother so that I can help her with my Alzheimer's stricken grandmother. It offers much more than any of the other seminaries (Luthern Seminary, Morris College, etc.) in the state--not counting BJU.

Has anyone else heard of this place? Here's a link to their website.

In Christ, Jamal5000

Thank you for advice, TomV.

I live about 5 hours from Raleigh. I heard excellent things about Southeastern. Unfortunately, I need to stay down here in SC otherwise I would strongly consider going there.

I want to go CIU full-time and finish the degree in 3 years. I guess I will borrow the money, go on work-study, and find an inbetween job to bowl me over. I'd probably end up communting from about an hour away because I would save money staying at home. Blessedly, my mom and dad will help me through this because they can see that I really want to serve the Lord.

I would appreciate any input you have about supporting myself while going full-time to seminary. What do most people do.
