Ah, what the hell .. I went and found it for ya:

Dating and Mixed Groups

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.

Don't forget a wooden cross, some gas and a noose.

No party at Bob Jones U is complete without that.

Established in 1927 by evangelist Bob Jones Sr., Bob Jones University is known as the citadel of biblical Christianity for its adherence to the Bible as mankind's only source of faith and Christian practice. Throughout his travels, Dr. Bob Jones Sr. saw students whose faith was shaken during college, and he recognized the need for a thoroughly Christian school to train America's youth. His vision was to establish a training center for Christians from around the world that would be distinguished by its academic excellence, refined standards of behavior, and opportunities to appreciate the performing and visual arts. At the same time, Dr. Jones's intent was to make a place where Christ would be the center of all thought and conduct.

The question you should all be asking yourselves is : why do people still go to this... place. I can't call it an academic institution without feeling queasy.

How can a place like this exist and thrive? Obviously, it's found a target public. The sad part will be to see those "graduating" from there become politicians and businessmen in Washington and elsewhere... and the gap between the U.S and the rest of the Western world will continue to deepen and widen.

Would anyone actually hire someone that graduated from Bob Jones U?

I know I wouldn't. It would be almost as bad as listing David Dukes as a reference....only with the school you were actually stupid enough to pay for it.

I saw a picture on their website of a man with a woman (NOT HIS WIFE!) and her face wasn't even covered! Those heathens are going to burn!

While most secular biologists are committed to evolution as the basic principle of biology, Bob Jones University trains Christian biologists who see the living world indelibly marked with the fingerprints of a God of limitless wisdom and power.

The grad school opportunities must be limitless.

Holy sh*t this is just amazing, the poor saps who go here must have a crap life.

Do they do any decent courses or do they just bible bash 24/7?

Oh well I would not get in anyway, I would (if being honest) only be able to answer no to 2 of the application questions.

My heart breaks

If I didn't know better, I would think that this was a Landover Baptist hoax.:Q

Yeah, well, at least they allow dating-relationships to happen. I'm aware of one place that does not allow any form of special friendships between opposite sexes. :eek:

it's not for me, but if that's what people want, more power to them.

one advantage they have is that no one has to wade through piles of puke on the bathroom floor on saturday morning.
