at least it's better than hell.

I know some of you on my friends list are Christain, and a few of yall are conservative as well.  While I understand both, I came across this universtity that, in my opinion, it just extreme.  A few BJU policies, via their website.
  •  Dishonesty, lewdness, sensual behavior, adultery, homosexuality, sexual perversion of any kind, pornography, illegal use of drugs, and drunkenness all are clearly condemned by God's Word and prohibited here.    Further, we believe that biblical principles preclude gambling, dancing, and the beverage use of alcohol.
  •  We want students to have wholesome social opportunities in a setting that provides accountability for biblical requirements of purity. It is with this in mind that we chaperon campus activities where men and women students are present and require a chaperon when students date or interact in a mixed group off campus.
  •  Students may work in town until 10:25 pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Freshmen must have a prayer captain, assistant prayer captain, or upperclassman with them.
  •  Freshmen and sophomores may not use their vehicles to go to and from work.
  •  Students may not serve alcoholic beverages when waiting tables at restaurants.
  •  Students may not miss nightly prayer meetings on weekdays.
  • Dress code for men:   
    • Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style-not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted.
    • Sideburns should not extend past the middle of the ear. Men are expected to remain clean-shaven.
    • Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are not permitted.
    • Hats may not be worn indoors except in the gym.
    • Men are not permitted to get tattoos or wear body piercings. Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way).
  • Dress code for women:  
    • Tops must be long enough that the midriff is never exposed.
    • Sleeves are required. (Sleeveless tops and dresses may be worn with a blouse, jacket, or sweater.)
    • Necklines may come no lower than four fingers below the collarbone.
    •  Hemlines and slits or other openings should never come higher than the bottom of the knee.
    •  Loose-fitting pants may be worn between women's residence halls, for athletic events, and to homes in the area.Loose-fitting jeans may be worn between women's residence halls and when participating in activities where the durability of the fabric is important, such as skiing and ice-skating.
    • Low-riders are not permitted.
    • 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.
  •  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).
  •  For the sake of accountability, students must "check out" when they leave the campus.
  •  Students are required to keep their rooms clean and neat. Rooms are inspected daily.
  •  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.
  •  Posters of movie and music stars and fashion models are not permitted.
  •  New Age, jazz, rock, and country music is not permitted.
  •  Contemporary Christian music is not permitted.
  •   You may not possess or play computer and video games rated T, M, or A.
  •  Residence hall students may not watch videos above a G rating when visiting homes in town and may not attend movie theaters.

BUT.....(and for the conservative part).....GUESS WHAT STUDENTS MAY BRING WITH THEM.....
  •  Trigger locks are required for pistols.

I'm guessing that this place even makes my conservative friends mad.  Please, let me know.

In the interest of my major, I looked up their history classes.

They have them, history taught as His story.

I didn't even look into their science classes.

I've never been happier where I am.
