So. Do you want to go to Bob Jones University?
Here are the rules for the students to follow:crazy:


Residence Hall Life
A student must live in one of the University residence halls unless he is living with parents or other close relatives (approved by the Dean of Men's or Dean of Women's office), is 23 years old or older, is married and over the age of 20, or is a graduate student.

Freshmen may request a roommate. Other students are allowed one request for a friend to be in their prayer group, on their hall, or in their residence hall, but not in their room.

For the sake of accountability, students must "check out" when they leave the campus. Students gradually acquire more freedom in this area as they become upperclassmen.

Each night all students meet for prayer, either as a room or together with several other rooms.

Students are required to be in their own rooms and quiet at 11 pm. All lights must be out by midnight.

Students are required to keep their rooms clean and neat. Rooms are inspected daily.

Facilities and furnishings:

Laundry facilities are provided.

All rooms are furnished with twin-sized beds, dressers, desks, closets, cupboards, sink, telephone, and blinds.

Computer network and high-speed Internet access is available in each residence hall room.

An email account is provided for each student. Due to the flood of objectionable content coming through outside email services, students may use only this filtered campus email system.

All wireless access to the Internet is forbidden since all Internet use must go through the University's filtered access.

List of what to bring

Students may bring automobiles to campus. However, underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores) who are under 21 years old may use their vehicles only to drive home and for extension.

Cell phones are permitted. Students will be instructed in cell phone etiquette.

What Not to Bring

Posters of movie and music stars and fashion models are not permitted. The subjects of personal photos should exhibit the modesty and appropriate physical contact we expect from our students.

Music must be compatible with the University's music standards:
New Age, jazz, rock, and country music is not permitted.

Contemporary Christian music is not permitted (e.g., Michael W. Smith, Stephen Curtis Chapman, WOW Worship, and so forth).

Televisions and DVD/videocassette players are not permitted in the residence halls; computer DVD players may not be used to view movies.

You may not possess or play computer and video games rated T, M, or A or having elements of blood and gore, sensual or demonic themes, or featuring suggestive dress, bad language, or rock music.

Due to space considerations, appliances such as mini-refrigerators and microwaves are not permitted in residence hall rooms. A refrigerator for medical-related needs and microwaves are provided in each residence hall.

Residence hall students may not watch videos above a G rating when visiting homes in town and may not attend movie theaters.

All weapons must be turned in for storage. Trigger locks are required for pistols. Fireworks are not permitted on campus.

I like the fact that students can't watch anything over a G rating, but they can bring handguns:evilgrin:

I think I want to enroll just to see how long it would take me to get kicked out:7

5. Study for what?
Bigotry 101? Advanced courses in Witch Burning? Rapture Preparedness and Modern Narrow Thinking?

I don't think that Bob Jones "University" is even accredited.

3. Sounds more like a concentration camp.
I had a distant cousin who graduated from there, who wanted to be a vet. Since they don't teach evolution, she never could pass the licensing exam, and now works in a Wal-Mart. No kidding.

4. It is pretty structured, to say the least
Until recently, Americans who were black and white were not allowed to date or hold hands. They also wrote about how it was so gratifying for Kerry to be defeated in the last election. :puke:

7. B.J. uni is in the flyover zone
The flyover zone is anything east of Reno and west of New York. I have driven through the flyover zone many times. There is nothing there, so why go?

11. "Filtered campus e-mail system"?
How filtered? Can they even search the word "Democrat"? Or the "truth about bush"?:think:

17. Now, this could be fun...
If you go into the Academics portion and click through to the Audition for Music Performance Majors, you should be "prepared to play two pieces that demonstrate your best ability."

I play drums...so let me see...what are some good songs to play at an audition for the BJU music department? How about Rush's The Spirit of Radio, System of a Down's This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song, and The Who's Sensation? One song about rock music, which they hate, one about drugs and one about a man who thinks he's Jesus. Perfect.

18. Baba O'Reilly
Keyboard part pre-recorded, but performed by you. Guitar part performed live.

Seriously, though. Rock died sometime around 1988. Funny they'd still be worried about it.

19. One night about three years ago,
Some friends and I were riding through Greenville, S. Carolina, where BJU is located. As we were driving by the school, I screamed out the window "Fascists!" I think a security guard saw me. It was most amusing.

21. I love how drinking alcohol is forbidden
haven't they heard of the Last Supper?????

I think it's ironic that Jesus would get in trouble for having the last supper at BJU.

22. They wouldn't like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, either.
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:53 PM by trogdor
Even though the first track on Brain Salad Surgery (which I'm listening to now) is Jerusalem, a traditional and highly revered English hymn second in British national regard to God Save The Queen.

These people not only don't respect science, they don't respect art, either. How the hell do you have an arts and science department with no art and no science?

I'd rather jump off a cliff.
