Very supporting of Christianity (like most colleges), but not a Christian college |

Was coming here to say this. Solid school. Evangelical and there's big-crowd open prayer meetings frequently on campus. |

And this is why we didn’t look there, despite really great programs in the two areas my daughter is interested in. Too religious for our liking. |

This is the right answer. Small (mainstream, not extremist) Lutheran college. Unusually for a small college, they have very strong, widely recognized, biology, math, and computer science degrees. They also have an unusually strong music offering. It is in a small town in Minnesota. Winters will be cold, so students need to have layers and warm clothes. |

This is the answer. The Baptist Notre Dame. |

Also a dry campus. Lutherans are the most easy going, least evangelical or intense of the Christian religions. |

| Know lots of kids that went to Elizabethtown in Pennsylvania and really thrived. I’ve heard Albright in Pa is pretty good. Given her interests Pepperdine should be at the top of her list. |

| The highest ranked religious "Christian" university out there is University of Notre Dame. It's Catholic, so not sure it meets OP's needs. It also tends to embrace its religious affiliation more than other Catholic universities. |

+1 It’s a terrific education — beautiful and so friendly, too. |

Guys, this person asked in 2011! They have long graduated!
That said if anyone else is wondering, the Christian college landscape has changed. Some schools like Grove City have swung very far right to the Liberty/Hillsdale zone. Messiah, Calvin and Wheaton are all very Christ-centered schools that don't pander to the political Right or fundamentalist views. They still have a ways to ho with lgbtq students though. Eastern too, not sure where they stand on lgbtq, but Tony Campolo is awesome. |
