WJU's faculty is friendly and supportive during your education but there are major shortcomings in terms of how much help they provide you with careers and jobs after college. Which belies the biggest problem with WJU - their overriding concern with EVERYTHING that they do, is money. Once you're done going to school there, you're forgotten. There is no alumni network for helping graduates, there is NOTHING. Couple this with a greedy administration that is both dishonest and in same cases unethical (with a few notable exceptions) and you have a school where only those with rose colored glasses are having a good time. Student leadership is full of self righteous, elitist, judgmental super-Christians who will talk to you during Orientation and then never again if they decide you're not holy enough for them.

The internet is an extreme inconvenience. With download speeds that do not meet the standards set forth more than a decade ago, WJU essentially lies to incoming students about their broadband internet. What's more, they have banned students from creating their own internet networks, I suspect it has something to do with the degree of control that WJU staff wishes to exert upon their students (there's a filter on the internet too, by the way)

I met some of the most amazing people in my life at WJU, I also met some of the most dishonest and ungodly people I've ever come across - an exchanged student from India once offered me $400 to write a paper about the Bible for him, was caught at strip clubs multiple times, was caught with porn by WJU staff, and was STILL given a scholarship for his commitment to Christian leadership by the school…why? Because Daddy donated lots of money)

I would never recommend anyone go to WJU. You will graduate with a huge amount of debt (unless your parents are paying your way or you manage to get a full-ride scholarship) and you will have a great deal of trouble lining up work when you graduate unless you are well connected (the economy plus their lack of alumni network takes a huge toll…that, and the fact that none of their degrees are really self sufficient save for maybe business)

Save yourself a lot of time, frustration, and money, do not go to this school.
