BJ isn't perfect. But I'd go there again. I got a good education there -- not necessarily in my field, though. The journalism department is basically one teacher (Miss Solomon), and the Collegian, although good experience in many ways, didn't teach me how to be a good, nosy, FOIA-comfy reporter. That said, all my classes were super tough, and I'm no idiot. I loved the Bible and history classes most. The rules: I didn't agree with many of them. Actually, many of them have been revoked since I left, which I think's good, but I'm angry they were in place while I was there. I didn't like being confined to campus. I didn't like being told when to get up (that's changed). But most of the rules I saw a reason for, and that helped. The people: I met many lifelong friends there. Not everyone's the same; some are snobby, some are righteous "bojes," some are socially clueless, some are great. You'll find your niche, a group of friends who are like you and whom you trust. Professionally: Being a BJ grad has honestly hurt me in searching for jobs. It's not a plus to have that name on your resume, especially if you're a journalist! Final thoughts: I learned a ton. I grew closer to God than I've ever been. I learned to think, to use my brain, from amazing professors and friends. I'd send my kids there (but first I've got to find a husband. small detail.) Feel free to e-mail me if you've got questions: God bless you as you seek to follow the Lord's path for your life.
