Bob Jones University

The training was fine and prepared me. While I was an accounting major, the English preparation has helped tremendously in my communication skills. Many recent univeristy graduates that we hire from public universities have poor communication skills, particularly written skills. What helped more was the atmosphere where I didn't have to worry about roommates misbehaving, lack of consideration, etc. Those who were forced to go there were unhappy, but the vast majority were fine and contributed to a positive experience. I met my wife of 23 years there and my best friend in college is still my best friend. I don't know where I would be without the relationships I developed there.

If a prospective student is interested, they should visit the campus, stay in the dorm rooms, visit classes and activities. There should be NO surprises. As with anything, an informed consumer makes the best decisions. The Lord directs in the lives of His children, and if you feel led to be at BJU, fear not. You'll have to work hard, but you'll do well.

My oldest son has decided that BJU will be his choice for college beginning the Fall of 2004. His Secondary education performance would allow him to matriculate almost anywhere. He knows he'll have to work hard and do well in his chosen field of study in order to prepare for his future. He'll have the opportunity, but the ball will be in his court with what he does with it.
