So far at John Brown University, I have had a very great experience. I am a college freshman and my major is Business and Marketing. I enjoy all my classes and the teachers and faculty all genuinely care about the students. Everyone here is always glad to lend a helping hand or piece of advice or encouragement when needed. John Brown University has one of the most beautiful campuses I have seen in Arkansas. It has a large library, beautiful walking trails, and a deliciously diverse cafeteria. At John Brown, I get to experience many different cultures as there are students from all over the world and from many countries here. Just to name a few, we have Mexico, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Puerto Ricco, Mongolia, and Brazil. The college and education system as a whole is God centered with our two mottos being "Head Heart and Hand" as well as "Christ Over All". John Brown University also has a wide variety of majors and degree fields to go into. They are accepting of everyone.
Although JBU has some excellent professors and supportive admission experts, everything else is lacking. A good portion of the administration only cares about your money and will screw you over if any inconvenience comes your way or if you try to transfer. There is not much to do in Siloam Springs, so you are often going to the same stores or doing the same activities weeks on end. A lot of the community toxic, if you have different views then you are likely to be shut out. If you are going to school for a religion or nursing degree, then JBU may be perfect for you, however every other department (especially engineering) is understaffed and underfunded. Transferring is impossible here as they will add every fee possible to your account so you can not have your transcripts (and this is coming from someone who has scholarships cover all of tuition). Please, save yourself the trouble and go to the University of Arkansas or elsewhere.
John Brown University has a wonderful student atmosphere. Almost all of the staff is amazing and personally pours into students. The campus is safe, and the safety officers are very friendly. JBU offers and encourages 6 free sessions of counseling per semester to all students. The programs are good considering the size of the school. It would be nice to have more staff for major-specific classes and better food, but overall, the school is above average.
