Bob Jones University

This is less a university and more a cult. I left at my first chance to transfer into another school. Run far, far away from this place. Do not go here

Whatever you do, DONT ATTEND BOB JONES UNIVERSITY! The fine arts department flushed my talents down the toilet.causing me to require years of counseling after I graduated. Once I regained my self worth, the Lord led me wonderfully in becoming a very successful music educator, composer, professional musician, and church minister of music. Now I am 64 and a retired public school elementary music educator thanks to my wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As a graduate of BJU, I am very thankful for the quality of the education that I received, as well as the life-lessons that were learned. The spiritual growth opportunities prepared me to live as a believer in a world of spiritual degradation.

For prospective students considering Bob Jones, I would advise you to carefully evaluate what you want out of college before you make a decision. If you are more concerned with accreditation than you are with your spiritual life, go somewhere else. If you are evaluating a college based on how many rules you will be made to follow, go somewhere else. If your main goal in life is to make money and further your own cause, go somewhere else. But if you are looking for an opportunity for a quality education in a Christian environment that will challenge you to grow spiritually and academically, then pray for God to open your heart to the potential that BJU holds for you. It is true, that admission is declining in recent years. It is also true that the spiritual quality of society has followed that trend. That should tell you something about the stand for Christ that the University still maintains. Fewer and fewer believers want to live their life God's way. If you are one of those few, consider BJU.
