Very closed minded, very hard to be creative there. Admin are deeply racist and anti change, even anti semetic.

Question
Bob Jones prides itself on being the bastionBright
Bob Jones prides itself on being the bastion of Christian behavior and beliefs. BJU will regulate every aspect of your life. Even if you follow all of the rules with a good spirit, BJU will ship you out if you speak your own mind, no matter how gracious you are.

And yet Bob Jones University has no problem electing Chuck Phelps back onto its Board of Trustees. Chuck Phelps accused a 15 year old rape victim of having a "dating relationship" with a 38 year old man. Chuck Phelps lied on the witness stand and attempted to cover his tracks with regard to the rape victim. He lied about her and her character. He shipped her out of his church and removed her from his school and her home and sent her to Matt Olson in Colorado so that the police could not find her. This resulted in the 38 year old rapist remaining in good standing in Chuck Phelp's church.

Yet this is the kind of man BJU puts on its trustee board. And not one trustee resists this action or calls out Bob Jones University for this blatant act of looking the other way.

Bob Jones will kick you out of school for doing what Chuck Phelps did. But it elects Phelps to its board.

Now is this really the type of school you want to attend? A school without integrity? A hypocritical, abusive university?You will regret attending here. Please go somewhere else, but don't go to Northland Baptist Bible College. It is run by Chuck's close friend, Matt Olson. I know, I attended both of these places.

Question
BJU is not regionally accredited.Quite Bright
BJU is not regionally accredited. Your credits will not transfer to state universities or community colleges.

BJU treats students like children. This is not the place to learn and grow. You will not be allowed to think for yourself without risking being expelled.

Bob Jones, III is a liar. He lied on Larry King Live about the interracial dating and marriage policy. BJU taught that this policy was grounded in the Bible. Then BJ, III stated that it wasn't and never was. He is a lying hypocrite.

BJU is destructive to your spiritual development and walk is Christ. Stay as far away from this place as you can.

If you want to be treated like an adult, go somewhere else. I would never send my own kids here, but then, my kids make their own decisions, so I really have no say in where they attend. BJU is hell on earth.
