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...

Time's Up! And the Answer is...

By the bald-headed Bob! We finally have a number that isn't constantly changing: 760!


And...sorry, Terry...hate to burst your bubble, but that is not "a pretty good number."


Not a pretty good number at all.

I haven't seen an official number or estimate for overall enrollment, but I have to bet that it is even more not a pretty good number at all since Bob Jones University has now scrubbed any and all mention of student body size from its "Fast Facts" page. As I pointed out earlier, back in 2008 BJU claimed to serve "some 5,000 students."


When "BJU Balderdash for $200, Alex!" began four weeks ago, BJU still claimed "over 4,000 students."


But if you go look at the Fast Facts page now...


Hmmm...

That "combination of evangelism, culture, high academic standards and Christian discipline...not found in the same combination anywhere else"?

Pretty soon it might not be found anywhere.

That wraps up this episode of BJU Balderdash. Thanks for watching, everyone! Tune in next time as we wait for the answer to the next question: "Can black people come yet?"
