I've heard some people say that Christian universities can be hard on one's faith. But I also attended a private Christian university, and never had any trouble there. I have had several staunchly atheistic professors in public universities, as well as some that taught other religions. I was not really Christian myself at the time, but it certainly caused difficulties.
As far as evolution, one of my degrees is in biology. Interestingly enough (and maybe it needed to be this way for me, since science damaged my faith) ... it was "holes" in evolutionary theory that caused me to begin to consider faith again, when I attempted to "prove" evolution in a curriculum I was developing. However - I try to be careful not to say that evolution is impossible or untrue. It's just ... not 100% correct in the way I was taught it.
I did try to examine all manner of theories and reach "Truth" but I gave up before working through them all. Now it simply doesn't matter to me - I believe God created everything, but whatever means He used don't actually matter to me anymore.
I do think anyone needs to understand how evolutionary theory works, and I taught my daughter evolution alongside other ideas as part of her science curriculum. But she most definitely learned about dinosaurs and eras (it fascinated her for years) and I really shied away from the YEC as I find some real problems there.
I wish I could afford to send her to a private university. She's got full ride scholarships - but only to public universities, and there are also none near here and she will live at home while working on her bachelor's.
