Reasons for going?
ETS'ed from the Army overseas (Did not have a "home" church in the states)
The alma mater of my pastor.
Reputation of being missions oriented.
Excellent Old Testament History course.
Opportunities for ministry practicum in the local area.
Networking.
Randy, it was called a Bridal college too!
Disadvantages?
Offered only Diploma for three years.
Unaccredited (Used up my GI Bill to attend)
Did not teach Greek OR Hebrew.
Older Facility located in an Industrial District.
Did not offer practical courses that would be useful for missionaries
School did not contain its own church (ie: CLC)
Would I do it again? Yes, if it was accredited. No, if it was unaccredited (but maybe for the first year).
I learned more through two pastors in three years than I did in 3 years combined of compressed study, graduating w/a double major: Ministerial/Christian Education.

I tell ya, these Bible colleges are missing a HUGE income opportunity by not ripping a page from Vegas and including small wedding chapels on campus, complete with Bro Haney and LS
impersonators to officiate. Elvis may work too for those so inclined.
