I would NEVER recommend Bob Jones, but IAverageOther
I would NEVER recommend Bob Jones, but I did find a handful of TRUE friends. I only attended for a year and a half. I only had TWO teachers who truly cared. The school is VERY stuck up and they think that they have "arrived". Students there would GLADLY turn you in so your best guess is to not tell ANYONE how you TRULY feel or think. They would rather believe the worse about you and you are guilty until you, and no one will believe you, can prove that you are innocent. As I said I would NEVER recommend going to school at Bob Jones. And guys, whatever you do, DO NOT date a Resident hall girl. You do not want to know what most, NOT all but MOST, do on summer nights.

Question
Although Bob Jones has some genuinely good peopleReligion/Religious
Although Bob Jones has some genuinely good people on faculty, most of these people are found outside the School of Religion. Within the School of Religion you will find hypocritical faculty and students who only are concerned with turning you into a mindless robot by brainwashing you into thinking the way they do. I truly believe that the students are held back socially due to the spiritually unfounded rules. If I were to go to college over, I would not attend BJU.

Question
Piece of shit school.Super BrilliantEducation
Piece of shit school. Oh, Dear God, what a shitty ass university. God does not dwell in the churches and classes of this school. closed minded individuals who aim to turn you into an inhumane....thing.

Tolerance is preached but NEVER demonstrated.
I think I had a dream the first week I was there about burning the damn place down- Bob Jones and All. That, my friends, would've made that place awesome. otherwise, it's a manipulative, opressive, and downright incompetent place to grow and learn as an individual.

if you like sitting down and memorizing things just the way they were taught to you and you have no need for a social life outside campus, or being able to have political, social, religious discussions about anything other than what is preached, then honey, let me tell you now, this school is perfect for a dumbass like you.

Honestly. if you want a religious school with good preperation- there are several well near the area of Bob Jones if the location is desireable. but honestly, the school is a piece of dirt that needs to be rubbed out of the map with an eraser.

The rules are dumber than they are- I've also experienced 'mail altering' that I read someone else had. yeah. and if you like friends who'd rat you out in a hear beat so that the school will consider them to be more christian like and give them a nice pat on the head, then perfect. you've found the college of your dreams.

I wasn't even challenged by their educations. I don't understand the bullshit all the other brain washed "positive" responses are telling you. If BJU was toilet paper, I wouldn't even fucking wipe my ass with it.
