Bob Jones University Dorm Reviews

I lived in the Mary Gaston Residence hall at BJU for my first year as an on-campus student. The room is set up so that 5 students can live together comfortably, but the school typically boards 2-3 together. There is plenty of storage, and by that I mean plenty! With 3 people, everyone will have their own closet and overhead storage bin. There are 2 dressers, but they each have 6 drawers with lots of room. There are 2 desks with 4 drawers and 2 shelves each, so my 2 roommates and I decided to let the 2 people who needed a desk most put their stuff their, with the other person using a lap desk in their own bed. It is recommended to plan ahead with your roommates to see what items you can share. My roommates and I planned ahead to have to have one person bring the Keurig. You are only allowed to bring 1 mini-refrigerator to share in the room. There is a sink and mirror for convenience in the room. We would wash our faces and brush our teeth there. As an art student, I would also use it for water for my paint. ;) The dorm is set up with 3 floors and two halls on each floor, with one bathroom for each hall. Personally, I prefer the Mary Gaston dorm, as it has the largest bathroom. It has also been the most recently remodeled. It has a cozy basement area where people are able to do schoolwork, hang out, reserve space for things like parties, etc. There is also a large laundry room with washer was and dryers for everyone’s use, free of charge. more

My stay at Bob Jones University's dorm Nell Sunday was, in a word, mediocre. It was crampt and uncomfortable, and there was not much privacy. I stayed there for merely a week but I would not stay again. more

Honestly, for a dorm, Creel was pretty great. If I had found a roommate, I would probably have decided to stay in the residence halls (now I live off campus). The staff are always willing to listen and they offer their support no matter what you are going through. I especially love the sense of community that I feel with other girls in the dorm. Not only are there about 200 girls in the dorm that I recognize, but I have built several close friendships with girls on every floor. I will miss them all when I graduate in May. more

It's very calm, and we have the sweetest dorm supervisor. It's nice being right next to the Dining Common, although it's a ways away from the parking lot. Some of the halls smell most of the time, although mine does not. more
