strictest university/college/school

[kats]

I've been enjoying myself reading homepages of different universities, and I was wondering what was the most severe/strictest uni or school you know of?

So far, my vote is Bob Jones university - dates have to be supervised, you are not allowed to watch movies over a G rating and women are not allowed trousers...

what can you find?

Baylor University - apparently they're arranging/have arranged to have an exchange program with St Andrews - can anyone confirm this rumour?

Nope i have not heard anything... this uni still doesn't seem as bad as Bob Jones... unless ive missed their rules page!!

[Rilla]

Maybe not as strict, but I@m looking at their rules now - they have, for example, a policy on AIDS - I wonder does St Andrews? (not that I know of..)
e.g.:
With a firm commitment to biblical teachings, actions and policies will be based upon current and reliable information.
The educational effort will be marked by both a clear affirmation of Christian teachings on sexual morality and the dangers of drug abuse, plus accurate medical and sociological data. The clear message will be that sexual abstinence outside of marriage, sexual fidelity within marriage, and the avoidance of intravenous drug abuse are the only morally correct and medically safe ways to prevent the spread of AIDS.

They also have a statement where they want to promote sobriety - imagine what they would think of Raisin Weekend!

Ohh right I completely missed this page!! I find some of these rules absolutely absurd.. seriously

[Rilla]

ah, yes, if you look far enough you find this:

http://www.baylor.edu/content/services/ ... p?id=39247

"Baylor will be guided by the understanding that human sexuality is a gift fromthe creator God and that the purposes of this gift includes .,.. blah blah blah, .... acheived through heterosexual relationships within marriage. Misuses of God's gift will be undertstood to include, blah blah.... fornication and homosexual acts."

"Construcvive forgiveness will guide all efforts".


I'm guessing they won't have an LGBT society then.

[kats]

yeah i saw that as well...

Bob Jones has a similar policy - what i love is that you are not allowed to watch movies higher than a G rating or go out with a memeber of the opposite sex without supervision, but you are allowed to bring a gun as long as it has a safety lock.. whats wrong with this picture???

Sorry - I didn't mean to offend anyone! Just being silly...

I wonder though, can anyone find an example of absurdly strict universitys such as these anywhere else in the Western World?

Seems to be typically American. You can't drink til you're 21, but you can marry, raise kids and shoot the fuck out of anyone who trespasses on your motherfuckin property when you're 16. Love it.

Red Mosque has to be pretty high up on that list.

Oh, and the aptly named "Liberty University".

you can't get married when you're 16. Not usually. People under 18 are considered minors.

And no, you can't just shoot people either.

That sounds like a challenge.

"There is only ever one truth. Things are always black or white, there's no such thing as a shade of grey. If you think that something is a shade of grey it simply means that you don't fully understand the situation. The truth is narrow and the path of the pursuit of truth is similarly narrow."

But imagine the fun, at 21 you can shoot your kids and wife while drunk !!!
