Houghton College

We had a full three-day trip taking Em to visit Houghton College in western New York. It was a 450 mile drive to get there on Sunday and the drive went pretty well- minimal traffic and my son Evan helped with the driving, as did Carolyn. Monday was a full day with class visits, interviews, the 11 am chapel service, meals, etc. At 9 am we visited a Biblical Literature class. The professor started the class by praying. Having never attended a Christian college, it was quite an experience to hear a professor start class by praying. Especially since the atmosphere at most colleges is decidedly non- or even anti-Christian. The school definitely had a community atmosphere and everyone treated us like "people."
