Reviews of Bob Jones University (Kindergarten)

James Splawn

I count it an honor to have attended BJU. I got the foundation to support my biblical worldview. I also received an excellent education which prepared me to be successful in my career choice. I graduated in 1982 and I'm proud to say that I earned my college degree with the help of caring and devoted faculty who loved God. The faculty and staff were committed to serving others . I hear a lot about all the rules at BJU and I can't help but smile because the rules were consistent with my Christian convictions. I attended almost four and a half years and never go a single demerit to God's glory.

Great place to grow in your relationship with Christ. So many people hate this school, most likely because they were offended by 1 person, so they judge the whole book by the cover. I've heard great things about this school, and have been there MANY times. Great Christian people who love you and love God! A truly amazing place!

Beautifully maintained campus with nice grounds. The buildings, while pristine, seem outdated architecturally. Also the dining halls close at 7pm. While I would definitely not choose to attend this institution, there are people who want to.

This is a great place with caring teachers who honestly care about their students and want to provide a rigorous academic experience for them. I love being a student here. I am an Information Technology student. All of my Computer Science and Information Technology professors are incredible and push me to learn, but also care about me personally. The school is now regionally accredited, which tremendously helps all students who want to transfer or further their education.

Bob Jones is a great university with multiple degrees that prepare you for life. I am a current student and I can tell you this school is amazing if you want to get a quality degree while growing in your walk with Christ.

Thank you for an incredible total eclipse experience! Unforgettable! Beautiful campus and very kind people!

James Shealy

I was a student there until last fall, i left because of the bigotry and horrible people in control. However, the students for the most part are great. The IT/Computer Science/Math/Bible professors I had were amazing. The current president is awesome, just a few bad people made my time there a living hell.

My family lives here and attended college here too, and it is an incredible place to visit and live in. It is definitely a unique place in the world, but it's a good rest from the noise and problems of the world. In academics the quality is top-notch, and the spiritual care is genuine from the faculty. Finally, the campus is a great hub for art of all kinds: musicals, operas, plays, concerts, etc. I definitely recommend going, even if it's just to take a walk! It's a beautiful campus, and people are more than happy to help.

This is a great school if you want to study your field from a solid biblical worldview. BJU takes an intentionally Christian approach to all that they do and have high academic standards. The university also takes an interest in developing the student outside of the classroom to be disciplined and professional.

Bob Jones University is an amazing place that has changed my life. In addition to teaching top quality courses and providing a unified, student centered atmosphere, Bob Jones focuses on teaching students to become more and more like Jesus Christ every day. This has strengthened my relationship with God and changed my perspective in so many ways.

I attended this school from kindergarten through college and loved every minute of my God-centered education. My wife and children have all attended Bob Jones as well!

Paul Schmutzler

I have mixed opinions on my alma mater, but overall my experience was a net positive. After graduation, I found that I was better prepared for my chosen career field than many people I ended up working with. They were surprised at the breadth of my training from a 4-year liberal arts school.

Ronald Freels

This institution is focused on education and providing an experience other than drinking and partying. If you are looking to have a "good time" you might want to consider another university. Many do not agree with their methods and no one said you have to, if you went there and did not enjoy your time there, it was your fault for not doing your homework, not theirs.

Caleb Nelson

I love BJU. I got engaged back-campus, my parents, brother, and wife are all alumni, and I have unqualified respect for the faculty and staff. This is a great university. Also, I attend or watch online every one of their musical and dramatic performances; you should too!

Kerri Revoir

So pretty, I stopped in looking for legal Aid, everyone in your town is lively & happy. When I get my Apple ID back I have pictures for you! Your town.

JD Miller

Nice campus. CRAZY rules. CRAZZZIER CAMPUS SECURITY!!!!

Elwood Groves

After ten years as a student, graduate student, and staff member at BJU, I have grown to love the people here. It's not perfect, but it's a shining example of a Christian liberal arts institution of higher learning. And in spite of what some people think, professors here really do broaden your intellectual viewpoints in addition to instilling a love for God and His Word.

Lane Camfield

Incredible School. Really amazing education! They really prepare you for the future. Teachers really care for you, unlike most colleges. It is now also accredited!! The student body is amazing and I would highly recommend going to college here.

Larry Simonson

Very supportive school, if you're into that sort of thing. My finger slipped, meant to say 5 stars.

Anon

This school isn't accredited, so it's diplomas are worthless. Women can't wear pants. Students can't leave campus without an adult. Interracial relationships were just recently approved. Dancing is banned, although the Bible actually praises it. Please don't waste your money on this cult.

Lucinda Barbosa

I don't know how to explain why but I just plainly DO NOT RECCOMMEND THIS SCHOOL

Ben Hicks

Have been here for the last seven years and have been challenged and grown so much. Tremendously thankful for the many who have invested in me and pointed me to Christ. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without BJU.

I left Bob Jones University after two years of being a student. I was not afforded privacy as the dorm rooms had no lock, which meant anyone could walk in to my room. The school requires all students to attend chapel and 25 demerits are given for skipping out. The school also has an annual "Bible Conference" for which skipping can mean being expelled. I almost never saw freedom of expression, especially in the art and theatre departments. Dancing is not allowed, neither is any music other than classical and choral. I was told that my speech on the benefits of choosing natural birth was inappropriate because there were men in the class. I was questioned by the dorm supervisor about my personal religious beliefs, and forced to submit a form about why I should be allowed to go to a very conservative Lutheran church, just because Lutheranism does not conform to Fundamentalism. Once, I brought up the topic of my belief in the veneration of the saints and the Virgin Mary to a group of friends, and one of them got up and walked away. Every year students are required to fill out a spiritual self-evaluation form to be looked over and questioned by another student in the "Discipleship Group," which was a required spiritual prayer meeting at 10:30 every night. If my skirt did not come below my kneecaps I was told to change on the basis of "protecting my Christian brothers from being a stumbling block." I had two open-minded friends, out of the three thousand students. So I left, and I'm happier than ever.

The campus is full of friendly delightful people. I have never met a graduate of this University who was not a truly exceptionally high quality person. Additionally their Christmas display is beautiful and they have a fabulous Art Museum.

Jake Hennett

Unnecessarily religious university geared at indoctrinating students, while simultaneously preventing them from going elsewhere to continue their education. I have no problem with religious universities in general. They allow followers of a certain religion to gather around others of similar belief, while obtaining a degree to better prepare themselves for a career. However, Bob Jones is not like most religious universities. Bob Jones does not allow students to leave campus, except with adult supervision. Dates with a significant other are frowned upon and strongly dissuaded. Credits obtained at Bob Jones do not transfer to other universities, so students are forced to finish their degree here or start over from scratch elsewhere. This university operates solely on brainwashing and indoctrinating young and impressionable minds to accept the world and religion as it is, never questioning why. A university is supposed to bestow knowledge and potential on students, but Bob Jones does not. Avoid this school at all cost.
