Academics

I am a freshman in JBU. After studying there for only one semester, I feel like I have learned more in those six month's then I have learned during my whole life. Professor's are amazing! I loved all of them. Students are very kind and you are able to find a study group for your class really easy (if you are looking for one).

I have not attended as a student, but expect the rigor to be high. I sat in on a couple of classes and the professors were great.

to be honest, i don't know yet, but all the class i sat in on seemed to be very challenging, beneficial, and engaging.

You will be challenged but it won't be entirely daunting.

My courses have been challenging so far. The assignments may seem overwhelming, but if managed properly, they are doable. The assignments are almost always practical and apply to your life, your faith, or your future career. The honors program provides further opportunities for rigor.

So far, I have experienced what I feel is an appropriate level of academic rigor. I am taking 17 hours, which is more than the average freshman load, but I feel it is just the right combination of challenging, yet manageable.

The professors genuinely want you to succeed, and for the most part they are very approachable. They are interested in you as a person, not only a student. It is common for professors to have students over for dinner or movies!

The academic environment here is very unique. The profs are dedicated to your growth, not just intellectually, but emotionally and spiritually as well. It will be a challenge, but not impossible or ridiculous.

though very intense academically it does not seem that one is doing as much work as they are doing.
