I am finding that I learn more here than when I was in high school. While in high school so many of your peers don't want to be in school, therefore they disrupt and cause distractions. Here at Jones the atmosphere is different. Majority of Professors understand the need to be open with their students on a personal level in order to spark enthusiasm in learning about the given topic. This ability allows for a better overall college experience. I hope to see those of you applying in the fall. Good Luck.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy being here a lot more than I enjoyed the monotony of high school. Classes aren't stretched out and boring, most are quite intriguing and leave one with a surplus of knowledge. The ability to create your own schedule also gives the student the freedom to choose what days they get to have a break.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The reasonably priced tuition allows for more students who would normally fall into the non-collegiate educated category to obtain a valuable and life long educational oppurtunity which will enrich their lives with better oppurtunities.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When making your class choices, remember not to overwhelm yourself because once you're here you'll find so many other great things to explore. For instance you could take a walk around the campus with friends, check out the band in the Fine Arts Building, catch a Baptist Student Union Service, chill in the BSU's all-new coffee shop, warm up with a hoodie from the bookstore, grab a bite to eat at the Sub Connection, take a few laps around the pool, or surf the net with free Wi-Fi offered all over the majority of the campus. And for those interested in sports, are you in for a treat. The football team is always looking for new and exciting recruits, as well as the baseball and soccer teams.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Jones is great for any type of student really, whether you're the typical college student [straight out of high school] or what is considered a non-traditional student [someone not right out of high school]. The classes aren't so big that you get lost in the crowd, and your Professors make it a point to try and explain things in a manner which you can relate to. Overall learning here on campus is phenomenal.
