Does any one find Bible College a bit too much?

Yes it would be relevant if I was a slacker or if i had problems with priorities and time managment but I am one very organised person. my time is managed with a schedual. I am not talking mainley of the work load. It is the effect of what you learn and experience at Bible College that affects you on a level you never thought existed. But the work load adds to the experience whereby you have to deal with both the academic side, your involvement with Church, College life, college relationships with students and and so many other issues that seem to come out of nowwhere but originate from what you are wrestling with what you are learning about. The Bible college experience is life changing and character changing and if you imagine what has to happen to a person to have those type of dramatic changes going on, you would understand the effect Bible College can have on a person and how hard it can be.

Yes i have been married for 7yrs this year and i just start college this semester. Well im used to be a stay at home mommy it is tight but we are making it my hubby is also going to college too and he is the one that is working. We know it will be hard for a few years till we get out of college but if we dont do it now then i dont think it would never be a good time to go back. The reason i decided to go is cause i really think God called me to be a teacher and without His will I wouldnt be in college now and making the grades I am. It all comes down to Gods will, if its his will for you two to do what you have planned then go for it. Just pray alot about it.

HA I didnt read all the replies, but Ive done my time at bible school and now at a technical school, and honestly, there is no comparison. Bible School has you dealing with spiritual things in a spiritual environment, surrounded by people accepting of these things, and the academic load (for me at least, in the two colleges Ive attended) was laughable to moderate. I might have just got it easy though. Secular school that I attend now, i deal with the same issues spiritually except in an environment not accepting of it, with people who dont know whats going on (for instance trying to remain abstinent etc etc), Im taking 23 bloody credits, its earthbound hell

If anything Ill say that I miss Bible School. Unfortunately, I have noticed that people in the school Im at now are much more REAL with what they believe, and practicing what they preach (whatever that is) as compared to my BS experience with the floating bubble children all talking a walk they didnt intend to ever do. Sorry if this post is a tad negative
