Bob Jones University

I must admit tht academics were not much of an issue for me because of my immaturity and youth. I changed my major several times and graduated a semester late. However, I have done very well in my post graduate experiences - to which I give equal credit to just growing up and to the foundational academic skills and work ethic I received from the university.

Since graduation I earned another undergraduate degree from an accredited school, as well as a masters from a state institution. I have done well in my profession and have advanced at an appropriate rate. I married a beautiful lady (with strong Christian beliefs) from another denomination. I belong to an effective, evangelical church from a denomination that the school would not agree with. My children will not be encouraged to attend the school, but will not be banned by me if they choose to go. I highly doubt they will do that. To make a long story short, I have escaped many of the legalistic bonds the school placed upon me. I enjoy my life and believe God is using me daily to further his will. I'm not worried about whether I attend a movie, have a glass of wine, dance with my wife, or even miss church once in awhile. I am continuing in my daily walk with the Lord and enjoy being with those who may not agree with everything I believe. This has challenged me to strengthen my own beliefs. I have never felt more free in my faith and look forward to the future. While this "world is not my home" I am enjoying facing its challenges and appreciating the God inspired beauty and human culture of our temporary home.I do not openly bash BJU because I recognize some of the good things I received while there. Please check out the school before attending. While I believe it may be a good place for some, it can be very negative for others.
