Review of Jacksonville State University

from Jacksonville, AL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Jacksonville is a great school where you get the one on one attention from your teachers that many big universities are not capable of. JSU offers a lot of different programs and major choices. Most likely JSU has the degree you want.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy this school. Everything you can walk to and now they have added a new transit system which will help students who have yet to get a car, especially on those rainy, cold days :) JSU has different activities from football games to fashion shows. They have activities for everyone interests.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

From financial aid to scholarships to grants, you can apply and hopefully you will receive some financial help. You just have to apply yourself because nothing is given to you on a silver platter without a little effort.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Some tips that I believe are highly important are to be on time to class, don't bum your first test, and have fun but keep your grades up so you dont have to end up dropping any classes or getting a NC (no credit) for the class. First off, being on time is important because some teachers don't allow tardys and you don't want to get an absence just because you were 5 minutes late. Second, I learned this the hard way. Aim high for your first test. Study, Study, Study!!! Some teachers only have 3 tests for the entire semester so if you mess up on one you may not be able to pull out with that A you wanted. So take the first test seriously and learn from the test so you recognize how the format of the tests are. Last but not least have fun and keep your grades up because college is fun and everything but remember you don't want to be in college for the rest of your life just because you goofed of in Biology class.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone!!! Jacksonville is a great school that makes you feel good as a group and not a single number.
