On Nonexistant Universities

I am now in that weird time of modern life in which choosing what path to take after high school becomes important. It follows that I should probably have several colleges that match my post-secondary education goals. After all, there are about 4,000 accredited colleges in this nation.

I've always been told that a few schools will fit next to perfectly with anyone's desires.

I've also figured out that the above statement is wrong.

So here is my college wishlist, apparently a delusion of grandeur after extensive research:

1) Holy Spirit driven, Jesus exalting, and going after the Glory of God like there's no tomorrow

•     By this I mean more than a required chapel twice a week, a campus with faith undertones, and a strict moral policy. Also, not afraid of healing, the baptism of the Spirit, oh, and dancing.

2) Liberal Arts

• I want the higher thinking level of Reed College. I would like openness to the hard questions and seeming contradictions - people who will work through issues and pray about them with you, not just explain them away.

3) A 24/7 Prayer Room

4) A Cookie Baking Club

5) Allows Dreadlocks and Tattoos

6) A Variety of Coffee Options

7) Poetry Nights

8) Inner City Ministry


I mean, I don't think it's a terribly unfulfillable list. No one has met the standard though, yet.

Let me know if you solve this conundrum.

*As a side note, Oral Roberts University is the closest thing I have found so far and I do like some of the things they have going on around campus and the city of Tulsa, so we will see.
