Bob Jones University

Message from me to the Graduate Admissions Office at Bob Jones University:
I am a 24 year old male Pakistani citizen and also a Muslim. I am very interested in attending Bob Jones University in the Fall of 2006 to continue my education. I was wondering what facilities you offer your international students and whether there are any events that would cater to the people from my region.
I also noticed, while going through your Residence Life web page, that you do not specify any restriction on rap music on your campus. Does this mean I would be able to bring my Eminem CDs with me when I join you? I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Message from the International Admissions Counselor at Bob Jones University to me:
Greetings from Bob Jones University.
For detailed information on our majors, please visit our website at http://www.bju.edu/ and click on "Academics."
Let me share a bit of information about BJU which may interest you:
Bob Jones University is Protestant, nondenominational, coeducational, and thoroughly orthodox university which stands without apology for the absolute authority of the Bible. We are in the business of training Christian leaders to go out to witness for the Lord Jesus Christ in whatever business or profession they may feel called of God to invest their lives. We are generally reluctant to enroll an international student unless he is a born-again Christian. Each applicant must write a testimony of how he or she became a born-again Christian.
We are sorry, but we do not have any financial aid to offer to you. The founder believed that each student is responsible to care for the cost of his education, regardless of his citizenship. We require an advance payment of one year's room, board, and tuition before you will be accepted to come.
Please click on the following link to see the special information we have included on our website for international students. This page will answer your questions about our application deadlines, TOEFL scores, and financial requirements: http://www.bju.edu/admissions/international.html
If you are interested in further information about Bob Jones University, please let me know.

Looks like I'm good to go with the Eminem CDs at any rate...
