Curious to know how many freshmen are attending Bob Jones University this fall?
TOO BAD! Freshman enrollment is "a constantly changing number" that BJU finds impossible to predict. That's the story told to the BJU Class of 2015, anyway...

Commercial Break

Something interesting has happened in the BJU Class of 2015 Facebook group...

If you'll recall, "BJU Balderdash for $200, Alex!" was inspired by the ridiculous response given to members of the BJU Class of 2015 Facebook group who had the audacity (and naivete) to expect University representative Alex Warren to answer a question about the size of their freshman class.


By last Thursday, the membership had grown to 400.



At that point, someone else was added, because I recall seeing the membership top out and sit at 401 for a few days.

Imagine my interest, then, when I checked in on the Class of 2015 this morning to discover that membership is now down to 394.


What's more, four more new members joined the group yesterday, so I calculate that at least eleven members left or were removed from the BJU Class of 2015 since my last post.


I don't know why Ashley likes this turn of events, but I do know that the Facebook computers seem to have had no problem keeping up with this constantly changing number of group members.


Bob Jones University. The only university in America that can't count better than Facebook.

Update. Now the Facebook group membership is down to 391. I'm amazed for two reasons: (1) The number keeps declining and (2) Facebook seems to be really, really good at counting. Maybe BJU could outsource enrollment tracking to Facebook.

  1. Fabulous blog. I tried to share it with the Class of 2015, but Alex & Co. didn't let me.

  4. Okay. I believe I know what you're talking about now, "Kurt."

    However you're doing it, please refrain from sharing any more of my posts here. I don't need your help, thanks.
