Is there a reformed undergrad school? If you are a member if CF I asked this question there. I just wanted to see what you guys had to say about it.

Of course, there is Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, official school of the Christian Reformed Church. However, in my view, it is "Reformed" in name only.

Living in Grand Rapids and knowing how from biblical truths the CRC has strayed, I would not recommend Calvin if you are looking for a sound reformed education.
There was a G/L/B sexual group that asked to meet at Cornerstone and when Cornerstone said absolutely not, Calvin welcomed them with open-arms.

Gross.
What about Dordt College?
Lets stick to the subject guys and talk about conservative reformed undergrad programs.
I'm wondering why there is so few.
Belhaven College - go Blazers!

Not terribly reformed as a whole, but there is a strong presence of PCA members in the faculty. The Bible department subscribes to WCF, unfortunately, Guy Waters just left to go to RTS. If you're thinking Liberal Arts or sciences, it's a great place to study. The fine arts departments are less reformed and there are some troubling things about the dance and theater departments. Can't vouch for the business dept, but I know the chair is a godly PCA member. Very good PCA churches and RTS in the area though. Its' strength is its faculty.
The mandatory weekly chapel service is a disgrace though. It's certainly not reformed in worship, and the administration does not identify it in any way with reformed presbyterianism, despite its' heritage.
When I went, it was considerably cheaper with better scholarship opportunity than Covenant and other similar Christian schools. Some of that has changed I know. It's a good option. Come down south for a visit and let me know, we'll show you around.
Avoid the first like the plague. If you're not familiar with it, it's Doug Wilson's foray into higher ed...

This one is the bastion of liberalism and should be avoided.

Could you flesh out your conclusion on Dordt? My son attends there, and I suspect it is headed in the same direction as Calvin, but your "bastion of liberalism" sounds as if it is farther down the road than I suspect. Would appreciate your insight.
