I already did this one, twice, but I'll tel you what I looked for each time:
First go round:
excellent vocal performance program
Second go round:
strong, balanced academics
a good library
learning focused
small, discussion style classes
student input sought and valued by administration
good theatre and music departments
varied activities
professorial interest in students' development as thinkers
alumni accomplishments post-bac
Those are the things I looked for. Clearly, the first time around, I had a little tunnel vision. -
To recommend to my kids (and my church kids) I tell them to look for:</font>
- Close ties for ministry and service at a Baptist church</font>
- Strong academic program (accredited)</font>
- Good campus/facilities</font>
- Full program of music, drama, intercollegiate sports, intermurals, activities</font>
- Historic fundamentalist connection, with Bible core or major for all students</font>
- Sensible but strict rules and policies for moral and godly living</font>
- Godly, concerned faculty to enhance interaction and growth</font>
- Grad program for additional study</font>
- Small, intimate student body but large enough for full program (1000 or so students)</font>
