Review of John Brown University

Describe your college in three sentences.

The most fantastic business school you will find. One on one interaction with a premium education. Located next to one of the largest areas of business in the world, it is easy to make connections with people who are already prominent in the business world.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come visit. I did not think much of JBU until I visited but it soon became very clear to me that this is the perfect college. As Mr. Donald Soderquist puts it John Brown is one of Arkansas' hidden gems. In addition to business we have top programs in nearly every single major.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

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

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Fantastic community! Everyone here is very open minded and come from unique backgrounds!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Could be better but there are definitely days where the food is awesome!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

One of the multiple activites that are always going on around campus. One time, a group of people put up an inflatable bouncy house in the middle of the quad because why not! There's also a lot of good hiking in the area!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Ranked #1 in Best Value in the entire southern region of the United States by the US News and World Report. Considering the price of tuition that really says something.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

So many....

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Open minded

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are like a thousand different clubs, some for fun, others for experience. And many clubs are activley involved in campus life.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We had an incident last year with the Siloam Spanker, some guy who would attempt to spank people walking on the trails in the middle of the day. And that's about as crazy as the crime gets around here. The Siloam Spanker was quickly taken care of.
