I went to BJU for four years. I had one negative encounter with the Dean of Men during my first weeks there, and I feel this stigmatized me with the "higher up" administration for my remaining time there. Nevertheless, I found my division faculty friendly, engaging, and constructive. They routinely challenged me as an individual.

Recently BJU has gained a negative following on the internet. All I can say is "haters gonna hate". BJU is far from perfect, but no college is. Most of the people posting negative comments about the school are either (a) ignorant of the facts or (b) looking for a reason to down the university.

responseOh, this is just precious. I'll leave the first half of this to you. The second, however, is too blatantly false for me to not go after it. Well. BJU has indeed gained a negative following on the internet. I agree. And the haters will hate. But does that mean that grievances and points made against the college are any less legitimate? People will complain, they do that. But does that mean all complaining is just pointless whining? No. I don't think so. BJU is much farther from perfect than you think, respectfully. A great deal farther. It is, in fact, as far from perfect as any college or university I have heard of in my entire life. That's how far from perfect it is. Now, how can you assure us in any way that your generalization of anti-BJU commenters as stupid and vindictive? That's a big generalization to say that anybody criticizing the school is probably "ignorant of the facts", which is NOT at all true, or on some personal, implicitly unjust vendetta against BJU. It's clear which side you're on, and I've noticed that BJU and people who are loyal to it are routinely snide and dismissive of any criticism of the university while praising the school and its agendas and beliefs to the highest heights. Well, your prejudices must be caused by one of two things. Either you are (a) ignorant of the facts about BJU, or (b) you are looking for any excuse to praise the university, regardless of the facts. Bob Jones University, unaccredited from 1927 to 2015, is mainly a university in that it calls itself one.
commentI'm not sure if just anyone who doesn't like BJU is ignorant of the facts or on some petty crusade against the university. That seems like a pretty broad generalization.
