As
others have stated, BJU is only a comfortable place if
you are fundamentalist, dispensational Baptist. Certainly there is very little
toleration for any other legitimate interpretation of the Bible. The
students, in general, are unable to think outside their prescribed
box, and are intolerant an unfriendly to anyone not an
independent, fundamentalist Baptist. (Some from Bible churches are not given
a hard time, but only as long as their Bible
church is Baptist in everything but name). I was repeatedly
attacked verbally for my Reformed beliefs and given no opportunity
to even explain in a calm, nonargumentative manner why I
might believe something different from the establishment. The dorms generally
involve themselves in private student matters more than can be
justified by Scripture, and I frequently encountered blatantly unscriptural practices:
i.e judging others (on an official level) by their works
rather than taking the time to get to know their
spirit in matters; encouraging students to “turn each other in”
and harassment of a students by dorm administration based on
second and even third hand evidence with the accused not
even being allowed to see his or her accuser or
find out the accusation. The dormitory student leadership system was
terrible; students were often able to get ahead simply by
“ratting out” other students or groveling to existing student leaders
or administration. The faculty are, for the most part,
very nice, knowledgable and helpful. The education I got there
was quite adequate. However, forced extracurricular activites detracted from the
ability to concentrate on education. I would never go there
again, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Even those
from the “proper” background would not find there a chance
to learn to think for themselves, solidify what they believe
by studying it for themselves or learn to live in
the real world as a responsible adult. Many BJU graduates
do live in the real world as adults just find:
But that is mainly due to their parents and good
education and experience before they get to the college, not
what they learn while there.

Responses| "The students, in general, are unable to think outside their prescribed box," Perhaps the saw the "box" as being the right one and therefore stayed put. I myself am of reformed persuasion and discussed it frequently on campus with both students and faculty, I never had a negative response, once in a while a good discussion . But no one ever shouted at me. I guess you just met the wrong crowd. |
