I recently transfered to a local private university of hopes getting into my major (learned it's a non-competitive program compared to the others in the state). I went to private school most of my education and the fact that it was a Christian instituition didn't bother me.
I went to orientation and came back upset and crying. I have nothing against christians or any religion but i learned that my NOW school is full of EXTREME and HARDCORE Christians. We just believe in different things and it scared me. The activity director said they condemn homosexuality and believe it came from child abuse but if they find Jesus, they will be healed. WHAT??!!!! Hearing that made my jaw dropped. I'm a good girl -i'm a homebody, only have 1 drink on occassion, and know my limits but after hearing wht they believe, they made me seem like a ****! Overall, I tried to get over the incident and continue to be open minded and friendly to everyone but I still was shaken after hearing that and the bad vibe got me scared and couldn't get over it. I decided the next day, I didn't want to go back. I'm not a big fan of drastic decisions but I knew in my gut if i went back, it wouldn't be good. I called another private university (w. a good program) and asked about admissions for transfer students and I still have time. I also saved about $9000 in tuition (compared to the christian school).
I picked values - what would you pick and what do you think of my decision?
