They use the Bible to fit their agendaQuite BrightFinance
They use the Bible to fit their agenda rather than use the Bible to create a good agenda. They destroy students self-esteem if they don't drink the BJU kookaid. Girls have been sexually assaulted on the campus and they never warn anyone about it in order to protect the schools reputation. The discipline they teach in class is a great basis for being a good employee when hired in your field.

Question
BJU greatly helped in the areas of discipline,Finance
BJU greatly helped in the areas of discipline, professionalism, and character. More and more professional businesses and other fields are looking for good, upstanding young people coming from college. Many of them are getting disgusted with the lazy, grungy people coming from secular universities. This is not to say that there aren't good kids coming from these secular universities, I know because I competed against them for jobs. However, if you truly want to have a disciplined work ethic, BJU is a great start. You will be hard pressed to get a better education elsewhere. However, if you are able to do this on your own or through a reputable school then by all means do so. BJU is not for everyone, don't force yourself or you will be miserable. It is a christian school that caters to conservative christians and will only force its will on those who choose to attend. Those who negatively review BJU and there time there need to remember that attending school at a certain place is a choice. Many may say they were forced to attend this "horrible, restrictive school", well then don't be a coward critic and leave those that force you so you can attend where you desire. I chose BJU and would have only regretted going there if I had wanted to choose to go to a different school and didn't go there. I have done an immense job of rambling, however I hope that this review has been helpful. Remember, not all graduates of this school are closed minded bigots that are racist. That is a preconceived idea by those who want tolerance but refuse to show tolerance.
