I attended Regent for a year. I would describe it as broadly evangelical. By that I mean that it embraces the outer fringes of the evangelical movement. It is not reformed by any means. There are professors that espouse annihilationism, post-mortem evangelism, and there would not be as much opposition to Open Theism as one would like (the summer before I started classes, Clark Pinnock taught a summer class there on the Holy Spirit). In the class called The Christian Life (a required class), we had a lecture on women in ministry. It was assumed from the outset that women should minister at all levels in the ministry. In our discussion group afterwards, I brought up the (seemingly radical) idea that I was not convinced from Scripture that our lecturer was right. I got a lot of ";;Well, I have not looked at what Scripture says on this, but...";; I wanted to say, ";;If you have not looked at Scripture, then stop talking!";;
They are also big on ";;community.";; While I have no problem with it, it almost seemed as if the community of Regent College was more important than the community of the church. In fact, I am pretty sure that they took communion in the chapel services (though I readily admit that I never went to chapel services there). Also, postmodernism is alive, well, and thriving at Regent College.
I was able to take a class with Packer (on the Puritans) and with Waltke (on OT Theology), but both of those guys are technically retired. Regent is not what it used to be.
I would advise you against going to Regent. I will say this, however: the area that it is in (Southwestern BC) is absolutely beautiful. Vancouver itself is not much to look at, but the surrounding scenery makes up for it. We lived just this side of the border in a town called Blaine. That area is unmatched in beauty.
I do not know much about Gordon-Conwell, so I cannot help you there.
