Sophomore: BJU is a really great school! The academics provide a challenge that really makes you feel like you earned your degree. The campus life is great as well. All the students and faculty that you meet just walking around campus are very kind and friendly. The biggest thing for me is the Christian atmosphere at BJU. This school is really helping me grow as a person, academically, socially, and spiritually. The atmosphere of the school, however, (enforced by the rule book) is very conservative so if you have a problem with more traditional-style rules then this isn’t the school for you. The biggest thing I would change about the school is the price. While more affordable than some other college, financial aid is still required. Even with the price being the way it is, still a phenomenal college overall!... Read 1,113 reviews

Junior: I have genuinely almost enjoyed all of my years at this school, it's a beautiful campus and a lot of friendly people! The cafeteria and library are great as well! The only issue I have encountered is some of the professors, they seem that they didn't really care about their students and just wanted to be done and hope that everyone understood. While I know that there's not much that I can technically do about it, it does make me sad that I have run into about 2 professors that didn't care whatsoever. One of them canceled classes very often because he was on vacation midway through the school year, the other would almost shame people for asking questions that were "dumb." However, all of my other professors have been amazing and I'm super happy with this school!... Read 1,026 reviews

Sophomore: From my first visit here, I always liked how welcoming everyone is; people here really do go out of their way to be friendly and helpful a lot of the time. Converse also has some great professors! I can't speak much to departments I haven't taken a lot of classes in (such as STEM majors), but I love a lot of the humanities and arts professors; most of them have PhDs in their field and their enthusiasm for their area of study is evident in their teaching styles and interactions with students. Small class sizes are also nice as you actually get to know your classmates and professors (and it's easier to get the help you need). However, there are definitely accessibility issues on campus. Because the university and many of its buildings are very old, not all of them are fully accessible. There is an academic building which students with mobility issues can't get to the top floor of, and at least one dorm building which is completely inaccessible.... Read 625 reviews

Senior: I have had a wonderful experience at Limestone as a student-athlete and full time day student. As a small university, it provides smaller class sizes and you get to know all your professors very well. Additionally, it is a close-knit school, with the majority of the students attending being student-athletes. Because of the large variety of sports, there are also many international students and those from around the country that attend, making it a uniquely diverse campus. In the psychology program, I have had the opportunity to talk to many professionals in the field, and even do my own undergraduate research. Overall, Limestone does an excellent job of preparing you for life after graduation and I have enjoyed my time being here!... Read 328 reviews
