I am sorry that Tim felt that way. I can assure you that he is the exception. I attended HCU twice. The first time I finished in 1986 with a BA in Bible. I still communicate with many of my classmates even after all this time. Later in 2000 I attended the very first Masters program and finished with a Masters of Ministry. It was a great experience and good learning opportunities at the feet of sound, quality teachers. I was a fulltime student both times but did not live on campus. I commuted 30 miles each way. Perhaps Tim misunderstood the school's purpose of training workers for the church. That would include preachers, teachers, missionaries, and even prepare them for an advanced degree. Jesus said you can tell a tree by its fruit. A good tree will produce good fruit but an evil tree will produce evil fruit.

HCU was a nightmare, students abused, faculty abused, fraud, lies, bad money practices, abuses of power, conscience, use of police and local government, assaults, thefts, threats, harrassment, these frauds have had it all.
