Warning: Here Are 5 Reasons NOT To Go To John Brown University

While searching for your ideal location of higher education, making sure that you find the perfect college or university for your needs can be quite overwhelming. There are countless schools that would like for you to attend.
One of the fastest-growing schools in terms of popularity and student population is John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. However, before you decide to join the school, there are five main factors that may sway you away from the school.

1. If you want your belongings to be stolen, you should not attend John Brown University.

I know, I know. Always being at risk of being mugged can be an exhilarating experience at some colleges and universities. However, this is not how we roll in Siloam. We have an extremely low rate of theft, almost non-existent. So much so, that students feel free to leave their bicycles unlocked and completely out in the open around campus.

2. If you want to breeze through school without putting in any effort, this is not the school for you.

Here at John Brown, labor doesn't come easy. Hard work is praised, and this hard work will prepare you for the years that are to come after you graduate from college. You have to earn your grades. However, you don't have to earn the love and support that is freely given through the JBU campus. This leads us to our next point.

3. If you don't want to be loved, then JBU is not for you.

Out of all of the places I've ever been, I've never experienced such a high concentration of genuine, loving people. Sure, there are plenty of other beautiful colleges out there, with wonderful people that attend. I'm not going to say there aren't. But what I will say, is that it will be virtually impossible to top the quality of JBU's community. And that's a fact, Jack.

4. If you don't like good-looking people, then you shouldn't go to JBU.

It's a well-known fact that everybody on campus could have been an actor/actress, or a GQ model, if they wanted to pursue that kind of life. However, as beautiful as JBU students are, they're also very intelligent. JBU as a community strives to pursue a pure, wholesome lifestyle, both physically and spiritually.

5. If you don't desire to have an incredible, wholesome future, then John Brown isn't your place.

It's no secret, folks. John Brown University is for people who dream big, and believe that dreams can become a reality. So many opportunities are offered at JBU. There are tons of majors to choose from, and many different clubs and teams. There is no doubt that you will find a place where you naturally fit in. The community is ideal, the faculty and staff are always willing to help, and the Lord is always able to meet your needs.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
