Its Southeastern University of the Assemblies of God in Lakeland, Florida – not D.C.
See what happens when you go use Wikipedia.

YMCA nowadays is pretty much just considered a meaningless acronym, but at one point it was a VERY religious young men’s association. The students who want to enroll here would be wise to know who started it and what it’s really about.
If you think this is bad, check out BYU in Utah. Or “Liberty” University in Lynchburg, VA (Jerry Falwell’s school).

Not letting students go to Hooters is “building character”? What an idiot ResLife director. Telling students what to do when they’re ON campus is one thing, but you CANNOT tell them what restaurants to go to! That’s just insane. Give them some fucking privacy, you dicks.
Yeah, it sucks, but these kids enrolled. Surely they knew what they were getting into when they looked at the university website, and if they didn’t, it’s hard to have sympathy. I mean, it was started by teh YMCA!

Southeastern’s not doing so hot overall. “Southeastern lost its accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education as of August 31, 2009. The 130-year-old school does not expect to offer a fall term for 2009. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education reported that the college lacked rigor and was losing faculty, enrollment and financial stability.”
