Bob Jones is only for people who want to be depressed and unsuccessful in your future career as…read morewell as in your faith. Bob Jones professes to be a place that "shapes heads, hearts and backbones for Christ", but in reality they do the exact opposite. The curriculum, the student-life, and the rules all rather shape heads and hearts against Christ. During my time at BJU, which only lasted one semester, a lot of problems quickly became apparent. BJU has terrible leadership who are ill equipped to handle real world problems. Aside from preaching "abstain from appearances of evil", and "no sex before marriage", the staff have no real advice of wisdom whatsoever. Also, the professors on campus are no exception. The professor I had for most of my classes during my semester was supposed to be teaching history. However, the primary subjects of most of our classes were sex, pornography, and the philosophies of heartbreak and romance. The professor went as far as describing different sizes of male genitals. When I approached my academic advisor with this concern, no changes were made. No one reached back out to me after I filed my complaint, no adjustments were made to the curriculum, and that professor is still teaching some if not all of the classes pertaining to my major. The other professors I had at the time left rude comments on my assignments evaluating my comprehension skills or my abilities to retain information that had been barely taught. I had one professor who watched YouTube videos of fish instead of teaching. This is the top rated, high quality Christian education you are paying almost $30,000 dollars a year for. Outside of professors, the campus itself has a lot of problems. The Dining Common is always closed, which led me to spending about $500 dollars on basic meals in one semester alone. This is while I am paying about $17,000 for room/board/food alone. The rules are another large, unspoken issue at BJU. Men and women being in any form of relationship outside of "godly brother/sisterhood" is extremely scorned. But this isn't what you'll see if you visit the campus on a tour or check their social media pages. The handbook permits side hugs only for photos. Photos which are constantly on their social medias, which gives the illusion of a far more relaxed environment than what it truly is. In reality, anyone can disrupt a couple having a meal together or taking a walk. I was unable to have dinners or sit next to my boyfriend without being approached and accused of touching or giving "the appearance of evil". The tours, website, and social media also give potential students a look into dorm life. They show you happy residents, gentle, loving, caring staff and supervision, and kind roommates. However, this is the exact opposite from the true situation. The supervision and RA's show no care or compassion about anyone other than themselves. If students come to them, they blow them off. Demerits are handed out for having lights on one minute past curfew. There is no exemptions for being out of your room past curfew, including having to use the bathroom or get out of bed for any reason. I have been given demerits for wearing jeans to church, by an RA wearing jeans at the same time. The dorm supervisor targets those who are in relationships, because relationships could give the appearance of evil. There are no second chances or consideration coming from any staff. If one roommate is to make an accusation about another, it is assumed true regardless of the opinions of anyone else. For example, my roommates accused me of stealing and ignoring them and I was kicked out of my room. The true story was in fact that I had never stolen from them, and they found the misplaced item the day after I moved out. However, all the dorm staff and supervision treated me as if I was a terrible Christian and not worth the time it may have taken to explain myself to them. I was given two days to move all of my possessions from one room to another with no help from them. Favoritism is an issue even outside of the dorms. The arts programs and your success are completely based on how well liked you are by the professors. During my time at BJU, students were shoved around and removed from roles or activities because the professors or other students in charge just didn't like them. If they weren't removed immediately, they were led on and played with until the last minute, when the professor then publically humiliated them. BJU is entirely based on popularity, favoritism, and treatment based on whoever is making the payments. Student life staff have called me personally a slut, whore, failure, and told me that I would amount to nothing in life because I disagreed with them on one subject. The subject being an aspect of my personal life which had nothing to do with my education, and I had not gotten it involved in any aspect of my on-campus life. in short dont go here is sucks ass

Bob Jones University Tried to Ruin My Child…read more We did our best to find a good Christian College for our daughter, who was looking to study for Business. Between BJU and PCC, BJU seemed to be the better option. It was recommended. We did our researched. What we liked: BJU is local church oriented. They allow students to attend the local church of (mostly) their choice. This is different from PCC, where they have a pretend church on campus. What we didn't like: BJU claims to be a KJV only college. They claim to use the version as their standard. We are KJV only people, so that was very appealing to us. However, BJU lies about this! They are very ESV forward. If the academics were decent (which they are not), we could handle the ESV atmosphere. But, they lied, and I am calling them out for their hypocrisy. 2.) Their academics are not great. Waaaaayy too many students are hitting the Dean and President's list every semester. I mean, it is a ridiculous amount. My daughter noticed that kids in her classes that were not that bright, and didn't even try were getting high marks. Things like that are unacceptable. What we hated: BJU promotes Plastic Christianity. Don't get me wrong, plenty of other "Bible colleges" do too, but my daughter did not go to those. Instead, we did our best to prep our child for the Fake Christianity, and she still came back different (more on that later). BJU puts on a good veneer, but they don't care about following Christ according to His Word. The Discipleship groups barely use or refer to their Bibles. They do not disciple at all. The dorm leaders largely do not care about those under their charges. They are there for looks only. The current president left his pastorate to become President, which (as a pastor myself) is an insult to faithful pastors everywhere. The spirituality of this group is shameful. It is fake. It is a sham. 2.) BJU promotes emotionalism. It saddens me to say that BJU programmed my level-headed daughter into thinking that her father was no longer an authority in her life. They taught her to follow her feelings, not God's Word. They promoted independence from your parents, instead of a partnership and accountability to them. My daughter came back different. Thankfully, she is doing much better now. But, we have had our struggles (to put it mildly), since she has come home. "Thanks, BJU! I entrusted my child with you, and you corrupted her! As a parent that put much blood, sweat, and tears into my child over the past 20 years, I cannot tell you how much I DO NOT appreciate you!" 3.) My daughter was struggling with trauma and depression, as the result of some events that happened in our home. My wife and I did not know the depths of this, but did recommend that she speak with a counselor onsite. Big mistake. The "counselor" barely made time for our daughter, gave her breathing exercises to do, and helped her not at all. Further, the Dorm Mentor (or whatever they call the older women they employ to "watch over" the dorms) knew my daughter was having problems and, instead of giving my girl a hug, sent her an email several days after the fact. This woman reached out to my daughter once. She cared for her not at all. That is the caliber of person caring for our children at BJU! Parents, I recommend that you keep your children far from BJU. They are not what they used to be, and care not at all for you or your children. They sure to care about your money though! Send your kids to a local, secular college instead. Keep them near you and your local church. Don't let fake Christians like this reprogram your children! It is not worth the cost! Signed, A Baptist Pastor

They don't have anything for you if you don't have all their money upfront.

I passed the Teas Exam with flying colors only to find out I can't attend because I have to come up with all the money for the first semester before they even register me.

Our midwives had practiced in homes over the past 11 years, but were getting calls from women who did not want to be in the hospital to give birth, but were not desirous of home births. These were young educated women who often contacted us after they had done hours of research on their own and had finally found what they were looking for; someone who would respect their opinions, provide them with resource and then give them options on where and how to birth. Research was done, a plan was launched, permits were acquired, a building was secured and renovations began. We were able to now have the best of both worlds, a home-like environment and easy access to medical facilities should they become necessary.
