Why I love Seminary

As you all may know, I recently graduated from a public University in the Northeast and am now attending a prominent Evangelical Southern Baptist Seminary in the Southeast.
Here are the Top Ten Reasons why I love Seminary
1. The leadership still believes in the Word of God as the Word of God. As in, They still believe that the Word of God (The Bible) is inspired, and inerrant.
2. We open every class in prayer.
3. Chapel Three days a week.
4. The Food is better here than at the public University
5. The Seminary Professors actually interact with the Students, unlike at many other schools.
6. The Seminary President is a genuine, warm, and caring individual who loves God and Loves Others.
7. I can have a discussion with other students in which I disagree with everyone else at the table and still walk away feeling edified.
8. The dress code-As a Young man, it is so refreshing to see young ladies dress MODESTLY. One does not see that much at Public Universities.
9. The Professors challenge the way we think about things while still affirming the Inspiration and Inerrancy of the Bible. They Challenge to honor God with our minds as well as with our hearts.
10. Most of the professors here have actual ministerial experience. Theyr'e not simply creatures of the "Ivory Tower" who have no practical knowledge of what public ministry is like, both in its joys and its struggles.
