 | Bright | Going to BJU was my worst decision ever! I learned a lot about math and had one or two good professors, but you couldn't pay me enough to go back. The brainwashing and ill-effects still affect me and it's been 12 years since I graduated. They treated us like middle school children and we were adults. People say you know the rules when you go so don't complain. That's entirely false. You have no clue what all the rules are. You might know some but there are so many more that you find out after you signed the dotted line. They're not regionall accredited and that has affected my ability to get a teaching certificate. They misrepresent the truth when they say they're accredited. It's national not regional. Regional is what counts. My advice for anyone looking into BJU - DON'T GO!!! | Starting Job: missionary teacher, Preparedness: F, Reputation: F | | |

| Quite Bright | | I had a great experience at BJU but I would not send my children there. It's barely accredited; it's too authoritarian; it claims to enforce a Biblical worldview and yet it engages in some clearly unbiblical practices. I have found work, most of the time unhindered by my BJU degree, but not always. When I was there, I was championed and helped by caring faculty. But if a student doesn't get that help, it is a tough place to be. I know of students who were bullied by other faculty, and my view of the administration is that many bullies work in the Administration building. Combine that with wahoos telling you in class and in chapel that if your parents divorced, you were going to get divorced, and if your parents abused you, you'd likely abuse your kids, and you see that these people don't really have faith in Christ. They also don't have a clue about how to deal with young adults. They have faith in Fundamentalism, and Fundamentalism rejects all people that it perceives as defective.I was able to navigate around the nonsense, and for me the good far outweighed the bad. But I would never risk a young person in a place with so much arbitrary rule making and rule bending by men in authority who are given almost total power without checks and restraints. These guys really think that whatever any authority figure tells you is God's Will for you, which is really dangerous. | Starting Job: College English Teacher, Preparedness: B-, Reputation: D+ | | |

| Quite Bright | Free thinking is not encouraged. I went because I had no other choice. Women are second class citizens. I was treated as if I were going to hell because I wanted to have a career. I am so ashamed that I graduated from this university. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Education Quality: F | | | |
