Splash boom bahhhh

I have felt very out of place since I got to the asbury campus. Not only am I use to perfect weather, blunt discussion and very liberal ideas (being from southern cali) I am also use to a very academic slant on school. Don't get me wrong, Asbury is not without its great profs and thoughtful classes - but I have had a difficult time finding a circle of friends that want to talk theology the way I am use to. Isn't seminary the place to talk about the atonement till all hours of the night? Seriously, once you get out of academia people are not going to care much about the soteriological significance of one's view of say...oh just about anything.
I'm sure there are lots of people on campus that share my passion for this stuff - but could it be that God brought me to this campus to move away from that? Or atleast, to find the delicate balance of being spirit led as well as intellectually sophisticated?
