Hi,Quite Bright
Hi,
My name is a student; I attended BJU from springs 2006 to fall 2007. I took theirs Accounting and Business and Bible classes. I was enrolled full time. My favorite song is, When Peace Like a River Attended My Way, and How Great Thou Art. And I don’t like that University and its controlling environment on students. Send your child to real University. My IQ is 112 and I did not found that University to be too hard for me academically. I also get accepted to Yale before BJU but I didn’t go there and did not tell anyone.

And here is the main inspiration why I write this review. Somebody send me a “nice” review of BJU and its leaders into my campus email box and I decided to post it online.

“BJU is a hellish and crapish University filled with bigotry and yet religious white racism is present there. Its administration is an old crap that comes from devil’s cows and dogs and cats testicles/penis and butt holes. Students are not allowed to make any decision for them. The restrictions are completely ridiculous. It’s pretty much like being in a prison. I found out that some BJU students are broke. Just ate in the Wendy’s restaurant that is around campus and found out that truth. Another student hung himself from psychological and financial pressures and marriage pressures. More likely it is Boo Jones University. My prayers are in this order. Dear God in Heavens can you send Dr. Bob Jones III into the hottest place in hell. Tied his penis tightly with ancient old foe of human beings that ancient talking snake that he believes in and other politicians of this country who are faithful followers but don’t send them yet. May that snake suck off his sperm and makes sounds uhh, uhh o yeah? May you send Satan’s devils to rip off slowly his testicles and cook them slowly and feed them to the sexual and racial whore of Babylon? May you Father YHW send a Satan himself into that hottest place in hell in order to stuck his pennies into Dr. Boooob Jones’ III mouth and make him suffer for eternity in such position in hell? And those is not yet over, rip off his skin and pour some salty water unto him and sharpen his teeth as sharp as diamonds so he would gnash his teeth till blood pours out. May you Father in Heavens repeat same act unto these blessed guys Aaron C. Goldsmith, Steven Coon, W. Brent Honshell, Gene Merkle, David Wallace, Michael R. White, Larry Wilch, Mark S. Anderson, Mike Buiter, Kris Martin and others in such positions of Administration. May You God cut off hair from his head and make Dr. Cook a Bible man hairless and penis less. And send Steven into the hottest chamber of hell and do nothing to him. May you send theirs bankers into the same hells place and position?”

God bless you all who read this tell your friends,
Ameni want my money back

"If you are a disciplined student who wants a real education with a biblical perspective, go to Bob Jones. If you want to party at a diploma mill, look elsewhere. More detail"

Interesting because bob jones is not accredited, which basically means the degre you get from there means absolutely nothing in the real world. They are only a candidate for accreditation, and for TRACS which only accredits christian schools...

Question
All of the experiences below are true, andBrightOther
All of the experiences below are true, and I have no reason to truthfule otherwise.
In one of my Bible classes at BJU, we were told that if we look at the opposite sex and "got aroused" and spent any time dwelling on the thought that we "lit the fire" and had already commited adultry, and had therefore sinned. Being an 18 yr old male, I pretty much threw in the towel at that point, for committing 100s of dirty thoughts the previous 8 to 10 yrs. You are taught to not only follow the rules of the school but to follow the rules of the Bible (the rules of the school are of the Bible so you better obey them). This is okay, I guess, you are not forced to go there unless your parents make you which mine did. The biggest lesson missed at this school is the development of a realtionship with God. To many of my piers were so depressed because they couldn't simply follow all of these rules. They would just give up and say it was impossible.I was kicked out because someone said they saw me holding hands with my girlfriend (1 witness). We both denied but were put on restriction anyway. The week my punishment was suppose to be over, I ran into my girlfriend, and said "hey, only a couple of more days" and continued on because as part of the punishment we were not allowed to speak. As fate would have it my dorm supervisor hear me, aparantly he was behind me. I was brough in, asked if I communicted. I told the dean of men what had happened and they kicked me out. I was too embarrassed/ ashamed to tell my parents so I stayed in town and got a job at the mall. A couple of weeks laterI would sit with my girlfriend at Sunday evening services off campus. I was told that it was an extension of school we could not do that or she would be expelled. One day I drove on campus and left flowers for her. A few days later I was sent a letter at the place I was renting. I don't know how they got the address but was told that if I was caught on campus again I would be arrested for tresspassing. Needless to say, I came extreemly close to committing suiside, because of the previous 3 yrs bad experiences. This school almost destroyed me. The above is only one story. I have many. I know girls that were raped by faculty students. I would say that over half of the students there are misaralbe and are forced to live a lie. Unfortunately for many, the school has the right intentions, but the execution of the rules and lack of common sense reasoning is absent. The school is in a bubble for a reason. If word got out that things like this happened what would Christians do. Too many Christians lean on this school as their pillar of faith and rules of the Bible. God taught us to love everyone, and develop a relationship with Him. Not judge. There is so much judgement and hypocracy there it makes me sick. I think people should speak out about the school. So what if it is negative. It could save somones life. If I almost committed suiside there because of my experiences, I know others have.
