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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
