Academics are great but their financial department is abyssal in performance. Be prepared to have charges and interest hidden from you like you're dealing with a used car salesmen. Poor communication and lack of transparency in their student bills has prevented me from ever recommending this school to anyone post-graduation. I would not advise to anyone to go here especially if you are suffering financial, because you will receive no mercy and no help whatsoever. BJU is not a ministry it is a business and they make that very clear.
A great, biblically-sound university that helps produce well-grounded men and women who are disciples of Christmas and reflect a godly image to a world of lost souls. Some of those who need the life-giving power of Christ in their lives are those who have posted negative comments at this site.
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.😊
Thank you for an incredible total eclipse experience! Unforgettable! Beautiful campus and very kind people!
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 The buildings, while pristine, seem outdated architecturally.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.
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.
I graduated from BJU with an accounting degree, worked for years at one of the big 4 accounting firms, and have had my own CPA firm now for many years. I received a stellar education and my degree from BJU was never a problem. I am glad, however, that the University is seeking (and may have by now) regional accreditation, since it is an important "stamp of approval" in the educational world. It's interesting to see that many of the reviews here are 5 star or 1 star. 5-star being those who appreciated, not only the great education they received at BJU, but also its Biblical World view. Most of the 1-Star reviews seemed to focus, not on poor educational standards, but on a disgust for the Christian standards they found intolerable. It is amazing to me that anyone coming to Bob Jones would not have taken the time to research its educational philosophy, world view, and yes, even its rules of conduct. If you don't agree with them, then don't come. Bob Jones is not a perfect place, but I appreciate the fact that the administration, while holding fast to doctrine, is taking the emphasis off of the "rules" and focusing more on meeting students needs through godly guidance and encouragement. They now have intercollegiate sports, women can wear slacks, men can have facial hair, students of different races are allowed to date, music standards have expanded to include contemporary composers such as the Gettys -- the list of positive changes goes on and on. (Those not acquainted with the "old" BJU can have no appreciation for how significant these changes actually are!) I am thankful for the education I received at BJU, but more importantly, I appreciate the spiritual and life lessons that were drilled into me for four years. I learned the importance of striving for excellence in everything that I do, since all of life, whether teaching a Sunday School class, working on Excel spreadsheet, or stitching a quilt is to be done for the Glory of God. I learned the importance of prayer. I learned the importance of sharing Christ with a world so desperately in need of Him. For these things, I will be eternally (correct word here) grateful.
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.
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.
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!
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.
