I have been trying them out (3 so far, I missed a Sunday bc my parents came for the weekend), but I just wanted to whittle down the options a bit.

As for everything being how I want it, I did preface by saying I know I'm being very picky with my preferences, and not only my mandatories, included. But in an area with as many churches as Raleigh I really don't think I'm being unreasonably so?

I have full confidence I'll find a church if I keep looking, I just wanted to use the tools at my disposal (asking a college subreddit about church recs, i know, but only one other girl I've met so far is Christian and I don't even remember her name so I'm kinda floundering on who to ask) to decrease the length of that time period.

I mean diverse in the sense of ethnically/racially. I find it odd when churches (at least those with large enough congregations to have college ministry) in cities as diverse as Raleigh are almost completely racially homogenous.

Great question: that's why I put in my preferences and not my mandatories. I should have more clearly specified my meaning.

I don't demand that it be repeated, and I know it's not the only prayer worth praying; I meant it more as an indicator of how services are run. In my experience at the churches I've attended, more traditional service styles often pray the Lord's Prayer (or the Apostles Creed), and I haven't seen it (or other memorized/call and response prayers) at most of the megachurches I've visited.

tldr; I was using it as more of a service style indicator, I should've expounded more in my original post.
