Review of CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice
from Coram, NY
Describe your college in three sentences.
John Jay was honestly the absolute best school I have ever seen. The professors are extremely understanding and take the time to get to know you. The school also has tons of amazing opportunities for us students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Have fun! Sometimes, you get caught up in the stresses of college and you forget to stop and smell the roses. John Jay has so many amazing clubs and activities to join and I am suggesting you join them. You will make friends who will last a lifetime and memories that will be unforgettable!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Yes, John Jay is absolutely challenging, but the professors help you along the way. If you need support, they will give it to. There were so many assignments I thought were so difficult but my professors helped me through them and never once made me feel of a lesser value.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Although I didn't dorm, several of my friends did, and let me tell you this: as a city school, John Jay has the absolute best dorm location. Right on seventh avenue! AMAZING
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We have Starbucks and hundreds of other varieties of food. If you don't like the food inside the building, you can walk down the street and get a slice of pizza; or you can walk down the steps of the building and get a gyro; you can ever get a deli sandwich from across the street!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
YOU ARE IN NEW YORK CITY! Go site-seeing; go see a broadway show; go shopping on fashion avenue. But if you want to stay in the school, join one of the clubs or sports teams we have!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is so low priced that it's crazy. It's unbelievable what you get for so little!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
During finals week, if you walk onto the platform between the first and second floor, you will find tons of students all sleeping on the lounge chairs. It's hilarious! Also, during finals week, the school gives free breakfast and free massages! How much better could it get?
Which types of students will excel at your college?
John Jay is a school for EVERYONE! You'll find something here that you'll like to do. But, it is particularly great for those interested in Criminal Justice! Probably the best school in the country for Criminal Justice.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is such a variety of clubs and activities, you are bound to find one you'll like!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I never once felt unsafe on campus. We have security guards at every entrance, and to get into the building, you have to scan you ID card in. Also, since we are a school of Criminal Justice, there are constantly police officers walking around. How much safer could it get?
