John Brown University Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 492 reviews
I think that John Brown University is an amazing place. The campus is beautiful! The buildings are super pretty and the natural aspect around the campus is absolutely stunning. There are amazing walking and biking trails around campus that are great for getting outdoors! It is a smaller university so it never feels too crowded and class sizes are great to be able to get to known your professor and feel a personal investment from the staff. Campus life is very engaging and super safe. It is not a very big party culture school but SGA does a good job in trying to engage everyone.
Somethings that I would want to change about JBU is that I would like it if there were more meal options/ better food in the cafeteria. It is also hard because JBU is located in such a small town that there aren't many local things to do/ restaurants to eat at. It is nice the Siloam Springs is only around 30 minutes away from bigger cities so that way you could go to Rogers/Bentonville fairly easy to get that.

I am only a freshman, but so far I am loving being here! The professors are all very helpful and will work with you if you aren’t understanding something or if you are just having a rough time. The food at the “caf” isn’t the very best in the world, it’s hit and miss: some days it is really good and others I can’t find anything I want to eat. They do have a ton of options tho so you can always find something to eat. Student life is good, they do a lot of events and the campus has a very welcoming feeling to it. Some of the dorms are really updated and new, I am in Hutch and it is a little out of date, but it’s not terrible and they are kept pretty clean. If you are looking for a party school then I wouldn’t pick here, but if you are wanting a place where you can learn more and grow in Christ then this is the place for you!
I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere that is fostered here. I am not sure who is quite responsible for it, but there is a general feeling of positive outlook across the board. That's not something that I found at other colleges.
I would like to see the University embrace availability for students to work and do college. There are not many certifications that allow students to start getting experience in their fields until after they graduate. Should more certifications be offered I truly believe the quality of graduates would improve.
