Where did students of Liberty University and other fundy colleges go for spring break?

If they actually expect students to follow their rules far off campus, I'm guessing the only place that they would be allowed to go to would be Branson (Missouri)

1. Weird
They don't even have male cheerleaders, I saw that during the NCAAW game between Kentucky and Liberty and kept wondering why their cheerleading squad looked weird and suddenly realized they had no guys! I guess their gender role insanity precludes it or something. I just had to throw that in there at the mention of Liberty Univ. Bunch of nuts.

I would imagine they spend a week praying for the damnation of college students that do go on spring break.

11. I felt bad for the team
While I was watching the game I felt bad for the team, I would imagine it is hard being a talented female athlete then being taught at your college that your sex makes you a second class citizen. I just see that place as so incredibly sick.

A high school friend of mine was forced to go to college there and though he graduated and has done well career-wise, I don't think that particular religious message did him any favors socially or personally; he had what I consider a typical quick and short fundy marriage immediately upon graduation, then wandered for a while before marrying again. He has it together now but went through some rough spots dealing with all that indoctrination it seems.

I hope they do have a co-ed cheerleading squad, seeing that game really freaked me out.

2. Other possibilities:
1) Pat Robertson's mansion in The Villages, Florida.
2) 7-day missions to convert sinners living in Hell, Michigan.
3) Cutting brush at George W Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch.
4) A pilgrimage to Reagan's grave.

14. They sit in their dorm rooms staring at each other trying to determine who has more sin
it's a rollicking good time for all.

17. They are probably the most outrageous, drunk obnoxious ones at the common spring break places.
