Freshman Dorm Tour at Bob Jones University | Mary Gaston dorm layout at BJU | Freshman year at BJU

[@rachelflammia8084]

There were four of us girls in Mary Gaston (2008-2009)! It was often very cozy and a pleasant place to be. I am thankful for my time at BJU, even though I did not take a degree there. Gaston had the best laundry space and study spaces, not to mention the practice rooms 😀

Looks exactly the way my room, MG 301, looked in 1980! Brings back memories of 5 girls and all their stuff in that fairly small room.

[@eliselewis]

Awww I love hearing about sweet memories :)

[@ashlieleavelle]

Mary Gaston was the dorm I was in. I was on Acad Hall. It looks the same! We had 4 in a room when I was there.

[@eliselewis]

Oh cool. Wow, I didn’t know that they used to do an Acad hall! And wow! That’s a lot!

[@ashlieleavelle]

@@eliselewis Do they still have BJA doem students? It was the 3rd floor of Mary Gaston.

[@eliselewis]

Not that I know of

My son will be attending BJU this fall. In the process of making purchases for his dorm room. Very helpful and informative video. Thanks!

[@eliselewis]

Oh yay! That's great to hear; glad it was helpful!

[@marilyncomer2822]

We had 5 people in a room when I was there. Starting in 1979 I was in the Mary Margaret dorm.

[@eliselewis]

Wow! Oh cool!

[@eliselewis]

Oo Yay! So exciting. I’m so happy it was helpful! Cosco, thank you!🤍

[@olivialee2872]

Looking to go to BJU for nursing in a year! I'm just curious though, how is the fall/autumn season there? I really want to go to a college that just has beautiful fall colors that feels like a movie!

[@eliselewis]

That’s so exciting!! They have a great nursing program! Follow the BJUedu instagram page and scroll to look at the campus during that time! It’s really pretty😊

[@LaChellDowning-mm3xp]

I thought the freshmen dorms were remodeled. Was that not the case?

[@eliselewis]

The common areas and basement were remodeled and the bathrooms were updated / remodeled! However, the dorm rooms were not remodeled.

[@rav2254]

What size is the window for curtains?

[@eliselewis]

I’m not sure! I’m home for summer right now, so I can’t measure them. However, some rooms / dorms have different sized windows bc of the air conditioning units

[@jadaellisor2009]

Hi! I was wondering I’f you can request to share a room with someone

[@eliselewis]

Hey! Yes you can!! *The best way to do it is to request 2 people so you can have a whole room☺️

[@karisbumgardner52]

How do you get a Mary Gaston girl into the dorm? Answer: You put Crisco on the door frame, throw in a Twinkie, and get the heck out of the way!

[@MrLizgovea]

All rooms are 3 beds?

[@eliselewis]

All rooms have 5 beds actually, but only 2-3 people per room! There is one double bunk and one triple bunk

[@littleru7587]

Wow, so everyone doesn’t get their own desk?

[@eliselewis]

Correct. There are 2 desks in each dorm room and five beds. BJU puts 3 people in each room and 2 people in each senior room.

[@Benjamin-bq7tc]

@@eliselewis I never studied in my room anyways. I'd always go to the library, or the "practice shacks (if you don't know, ask an old faculty member)."

[@ameliabedelia9959]

May I ask you a question? Why doesn’t your university allow interracial dating?

[@eliselewis]

They do allow it! They have for a few years now. It was a poor decision when that rule was initially made and the university regrets it.

[@entertainment4kids1]

Uh, “Dour Tour”?

[@eliselewis]

Thank you lol

[@DianaZhuDong]

What size is the bunk bed？

[@eliselewis]

Twin!
