The Jesus factor

[KyleH]

It was the book College without Compromise by the Wightmans that introduced me to credit-by-exam, the big three, etc. I am really glad I got that book.

Chalk me down as another one who got introduced to distance learning through College without Compromise (or rather, my mom was introduced to it and then told me all about it). Apparently that book was more popular than I thought.

I think a big reason a Christian is more likely to take this approach is because colleges usually contradict Christians' belief systems so any alternative is better than that one. For me it's more about the time and money, though the terrible-ness of college definitely makes me feel like I'm not missing out (except for the fact that all my friends keep leaving me to go to their Christian colleges).
