Katlyn from Walland, TN
The professors are extremely nice and will help you out, no problem!
Kayla from Knoxville, TN
The classes are interesting and though they teach a lot, they still provide room for your own ideals and beliefs. The lectures are always full of information that is not only nice to know for the tests and quizzes, but very good for learning how to put class curriculum into real world ministry, or give you ideas for teaching or sermons.
Breanna from Knoxville, TN
Respectably holds to rules and requirements.
Julianna from York New Salem, PA
Johnson is the most friendly, supportive college I've visited. The professors are great, the classes are helpful, and the campus is beautiful. The people here are really concerned on making sure you strengthen your relationship with God and helping to prepare you for ministry. You need to come to Johnson University.
