Bob Jones Priorities

From Bob Jones University's guide to matriculating students:

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.

  • ...
  • 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.
