Bob Jones University is a great Christian College. The campus is beautiful and quiet. Professors are not only there to teach but guide.
This school banned interracial marriage until the year 2000 when the Justice Department sued them and cut off funding, forcing them to change their policy or shut down.
Don't attend unless you are a radical, racist, fundamentalist Christian. If you have even a moderate bone in your body, go elsewhere. And if you do attend, make sure that the program you are interested in is accredited and accepted by graduate schools and/or employers, as many aren't and put graduates into a very bad situation.

Bob Jones has excellent faculty who care about their students. It is academically rigorous, but has faculty who care about you as an individual.
The best thing in BJU is the higher quality of class and teachers than others. At least, I am very satisfied with what I have learned in here :)
The education is great! You can tell that the teachers care, and the students are nice. It’s also on the intense side, with a lot of conservative rules and required services. If you want to grow spiritually, it’s a great school, if you want to party, it’s now a great school.
I was expelled off of campus because i was walking alone with someone of the opposite gender after 6PM
I have been attending Bob Jones as a Dual enrollment student through high school. It is an extremely positive atmosphere and the professors are always available to help.
I absolutely love this college. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely care about the students both in their education and as individuals. They prioritize each person's relationship with Christ and have high standards of students to provide a safe learning environment as well as a place to grow in the Lord.
Wonderful education/staff with wonderful people and community. Located in the most beautiful city, and top notch focus on the community around.
Bob Jones University is a great school, whose professors and staff have a deep care for the students. The second I stepped on campus, i felt at home.
Bob Jones is (imo, of course) the best school for a Christian kid looking for higher education. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely care about you as a person instead of just someone paying their salary.
While the list of student expectations seems daunting at first, it’s all quite manageable and is completely worth the education and discipleship you get in return.
Dorms are spacious and food is amazing. There are a variety of churches in the area, a Walmart just around the corner, and overall the college has a great location.

I absolutely love and have enjoyed my time here at BJU. The staff is amazing and I really feel prepared for my future career in the medical field. However I believe there are some frivolous rules that need to be changed or eased up. For example I received a $60 fine for going to watch a Disney G rated film. We are adults and I think this a not a rule that reflects this. Other than a couple of these. I love everything!
Bob Jones has a great staff! All of the professors are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing. Many of the students are excited to make new friends. Though some rules may need to be changed, they were made before today's generation and have the potential of being changed or altered eventually. Many rules have been changed already and have made the atmosphere better. I definitely recommend this university to anyone looking for a good Christian University.
The faculty at Bob Jones University is fantastic. The professors genuinely care about their students and do their best to help them succeed. Something I would like to see changed at BJU is the dating policy, counseling for students dealing with mental/emotional health issues, and treatment of students as young adults (not children).
BJU doesn't have a perfect past and the rules are strict. This administration is finally realizing that BJU puts more limits on its students than the Bible does; students are now afforded more freedom to make their own decisions. Off campus passes are gone. Mixed group chaperones off campus (other than 3rd wheels for couples) are gone. The rules they do have are almost all reasonable and logical conclusions of the university's stance. This administration has showed a willingness to change rules that do not violate Biblical principles, and for that they have earned my respect. The main aspect I wish to see changed is the dating scene. BJU makes it hard to be a basic couple (i.e. hold hands or go to a nice meal off campus alone). Couples who wish to cross Biblical lines will find ways to do that regardless of the rules. By trying to prevent couples from crossing lines with strict rules, they treat prudent couples like children while others break the rules anyway.
Bob Jones University is an institution that provides advanced and competitive academics. I wanted to attend a school that challenged me academically. During my time at Bob Jones University I surely was. However, I also wanted to attend a school that was socially healthy for me. As a young highschooler speaking with recruits was promised that. However, in that area Bob Jones University lacked. As a minority, I was promised by the school a platform to educate and to aid in the progression of the culture of Bob Jones University. However, when racial issues and social issues began to arise and I attempted to educate and communicate, I was shut down. I truly don’t believe their intentions to learn and progress is a priority. However, I do think the intention is to diversify the school. This is a step in the right direction but with bringing a certain demographic of students in there has to also be a progression in how faculty operates and issues are addressed.
I absolutely love the atmosphere and the close connections you get to make at Bob Jones. The teachers truly value there students and want to see them succeed while also being hospitable to them.
