The Illustrious Bob Jones University

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This place is freakin nuts...no offense to anyone that is this conservative, but the rules here are just rediculous...the worst rules are the ones restricting music and movies (I guess our society is rather crude...but, come on!)...these rules just restrict individuality and thought...O well, So...What are my chances of getting in???</p>

<p>Stats:
SATs: Did not take, they are Satanic
GPA: I prayed for a 4.0, but only got a 1.0
ECs: Church Youth Group, Silent Prayer (2 yrs Varsity)</p>

<p>Note: I accidentally tried illegal drugs once (Advil), but I prayed for forgiveness.</p>

<p>(Please don't take this seriously...)</p>

42

<p>LMAO hahahaha</p>

43

<p>I should apply and tell them I've smoked hash out of a human skull while drinking a virgin's blood (I was going to put something more offensive there, but I realized I don't feel like getting banned). Just for fun. Oh yeah, after 10pm.</p>

<p>I really want to get a letter back from them saying something like "May god have mercy on your soul" so I can post it on my wall.</p>

44

<p>Just wondering - if BJ were a Jewish or Muslim school, would people be making this much fun?</p>

45

<p>^ :) Haha. Interesting.</p>

<p>To be honest, the place scares me, but we should all be fairly nice about it. The people who go in there SEEM to choose to do so (in the case that their parents force them to, well, perhaps they're used to such a lifestyle?), so I think it would be best to respect their lifestyles (minus the racism hinted at in the school's policies), no?</p>

46

<p>The dress code is so 1950's....pantyhose, no pants unless for sports
Ease
* All dresses, skirts, pants, and shirts must be loose-fitting, having a minimum of three inches of ease at bust and hips.
* An informal way to measure ease is to stand up straight and pinch the loose fabric on both sides of the hips or at the bust line. Without stretching the fabric, there should be at least a 3/4-inch fold of fabric on both sides.</p>

47

<p>Every girl I saw on the website was blond....</p>

48

<p>And application was two pages, no essay, no transcript</p>

49

<p>Cubs Rule, LOL</p>

50

<p>Every girl I saw on the website was blond....</p>

51

<p>yes and "perfect" as in the perfect housewives</p>

52

<p>It was creepy, very few women in any leadership or academic positions, its like a boot camp for stepford wives....the secular books offered at the book store looked so tame and mind numbling....</p>

53

<p>I think we all need to check out the Campus book store.
With such intellectual titles as "Very Like A Star," how could one go wrong with BJU?</p>

<p>I love the description... "It seems to Rigel that being small is the worst thing in the world. The fashionable bees in Buzzle Hive poke fun at her and she cannot even make a respectable buzz with her little wings. So she works hard to bring in nectar and tells her troubles only to Frick, the frog. But one day she accepts an invitation to the hummingbirds' party and is astonished at what she finds out from their High Queen. Finally, after a terrible storm and a lean winter, Rigel comes to know how a little be can truly be 'very like a star.'"
Frick? Sounds like one very bad acid trip to me...</p>

<p>A very intellectual school, obviously.</p>

54

<p>^^^^^
for such a religious school, it's sure strange seeing how that book cover's design looks like it was done by a pothead.</p>

I almost feel tempted to buy this for a laugh.</p>

<p>edit: I found this in the HISTORY section:
<a href="http://protect.bju.edu/cstore/product_info.php?cPath=21_40&products_id=10275%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://protect.bju.edu/cstore/product_info.php?cPath=21_40&products_id=10275&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>im sorry to upset the laughter of this threat but apparently Liberty University has an Honors Program.
Check it out:
<a href="http://www.liberty.edu/Academics/index.cfm?pid=173%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.liberty.edu/Academics/index.cfm?pid=173&lt;/a>
amazingly, they do have SATs, and u need to have at least a 1340.</p>

<p>also look at the man who is standing on the column: <a href="http://www.liberty.edu/Academics/index.cfm?pid=162%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.liberty.edu/Academics/index.cfm?pid=162&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>He may be reprimanded for that under the Section 3 of the reprimands page charged with "Improper social behavior."</p>

<p>Love the BJU rule that you can't watch videos with above a G rating when visiting homes in town. The ban on rock, jazz, new age, country, and contemporary christian music is too scary to laugh at, as is the idea of freshman being supervised at work.</p>

58

<p>Now now, lets not be too harsh on the good "Doctors" Falwell and Jones. After all, without Jerry Falwell, where would we get our good Tinky-Winky Teletubbies jokes?</p>

<p>with that aside, this is absolutely pathetic. You know, the United States had a good 50 years or so between the birth of rock and roll and the end of the clinton administration of being the avant garde of culture and intellectualism in the world.. how truly sad that morans like these have access to national notoriety now (via Fox News) and are slowly becoming the dominant voice in America.</p>

<p>On a sad note, seeing as this is a global forum, have any of you from the red states ever been concerned that tenured professors at Ivies and so on are too liberal?</p>

<p>Saw a great T-shirt for sale on georgewbush.org</p>

<p>It looks like a college tee, says "Red State Colluge" - "Go Grand Wizards" and has a picture of a trailer (as if that were the main academic building). BJU and Liberty's accuracy with this mock tee shirt is painfully obvious.</p>

59

<p>As a true middle-of-the road liberal adult, I struggle, but sincerely try, to keep an open mind about folks....and not make fun of them. BUT .... Cubsrule's EC: silent prayer ( 2 yrs varsity) put me over the edge: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. God that was funny.</p>
