I greatly enjoyed and profitted by my time at BJU. The Lord used my experience there to teach me much about life and to prepare me for ministry. The education was very thorough and most of the faculty, staff and students were encouraging and uplifting. I went to BJU straight from public school and never had any problem with adjusting to the rules, nor did any of my friends. A number of students do have problems with the rules, but that problem is ultimately a heart problem.

I know a lot of people express concern over the accreditation issue, but I had a number of good friends who got into med school, law school, etc. without difficulty (except sometimes in choosing which one to attend). I also know that when I attended many of the Big 5 accounting firms and other top businesses recruited at BJU. My best friend had no problem with his CPA exam and was hired by a Big 5 accounting firm.

Even more important than the quality of the academics at BJU is the fact that the school was a place that really helped me to grow in Christ. The Bible classes were excellent and the interraction with other students also served to help me grow in Christ. There are people there who do wrong and have bad attitudes, but thankfully (at least while I was there) most of these were caught or did not last too long.
