Bob Jones University

A very insular, close-minded institution. I could go on and on, but here's a glimmer of what you're in for -- they would black out with their felt tipped pen pictures in National Geographic of women who weren't acceptably clothed, as well offensive words and phrases in magazines like Time and Newsweek. It was a big mistake to go here -- a wasted four years of my life....

4th Year Female -- Class 1977

Perceived Campus Safety: A-, Social Life: F

This school is oppressive, archaic, and ridiculous. The accounting classes were adequate, but everything else was a nightmare. There was extreme control of every aspect of life -- what you wore, the type of haircut, when and what you ate, what time and where you could talk to a person of the opporsite sex, what music you listened to, etc. Independent thinking was actively discouraged and even punished. Students were encouraged to rat on each other for minor infringements such as skipping chapel. I wanted to transfer out, but as the school was not accredited, other institutions would not accept credits. I stuck it out, but hated it. I still regret going there.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000
