We aren't familiar with Wheaton or Hillsdale.[/quote]

Well then...[/quote]

What does that mean?[/quote]

I think the poster means that if you're not familiar with these Christian colleges, that Calvin likely will feel very foreign to your son and your family. Families that look at Christian colleges tend to compare among places like Wheaton, Calvin, Hillsdale, Gordon, Messiah, etc. Students who go there tend to come from religiously observant families and are seeking out a liberal arts community that still values and places an emphasis on a faith perspective, though you will find theological diversity and diversity of viewpoints on social justice issues, LGBTQ acceptance, etc. Faculty often tend to be more liberal (theologically and socially) than the student body at many of these schools. I have friends who attended Calvin in the past twenty years and they are doing interesting, great things with their lives and professions - at the UN, in DOJ, at prestigious law firms, etc. Not all have an active faith anymore, but all certainly came from cultures/homes that valued faith in their upbringing.[/quote]
