BJU is a four-year, liberal arts education that seeks to instill a God-honoring attitude within the students. Some former students view the rules as a way simply to maintain control. Of course, this is partly true. Why do we have laws against murder in this country? To maintain control. While the rules here certainly are more strict than at most other schools, the reason is because we are training not just to be good in our field (accounting, Bible, nursing, et al.) but to love God and honor Him.

If you love God and seek to honor Him, you won't have a problem with the rules at BJU. If you don't, then you will. It is that simple. Yes, they are tedious sometimes, but look at the bigger picture—the education you get is one without a humanistic worldview! For a Christian, that should make all the difference in the world.

Much is made of accreditation, as well. I have only one thing to say about this. Look at the facts. Over the last 5 years, the national average of students accepted into Medical school from undergraduate premed programs is approximagtely 40%; while at BJU, the average accepted into Med school is 60%. The BJU degree will not hinder someone. (A caveat to Christians: if you have faith in God, will this even be an issue to you?)

My time here has been great, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
