color key:   Positive Negative Neutral Advice

Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] English  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I wish i had something positive to say about JU. I had a really good feeling coming in about going to a smaller school tucked into the banks of the St johns river. I spent a year at JU and feel like i have been robbed of a year of my life. the people on the forums speak the truth so i am not going to re state all the negativity on here and just simply say that it is all completely true. As for those of you who do have a positive outlook on JU i congradulate you because you are probably 1 of the 20 other people on campus that feel that way so heres to you for being in the .01% of people at JU that actually like it and stay all 4 years. The proof is in the pudding and there is no need for a verbal sparring match. My one piece of advice would be to do your research heavely before attending any school. Have a Question?

I'm not going to be a Negative Nancy like the rest of the obviously non-social hermit crabs, but I am going to tell you how it is. JU's programs aren't very rigorous. You'd probably learn more and get a better education at a public school for MUCH cheaper. However, if you have a butt ton of scholarships, can afford to pay the difference, don't mind being $100k in debt, etc.. It's a good, fun place to go. It ISN'T a huge university like I assume most of these disappointed people wanted. If you want a big party school that hundreds of people attend, you're out of luck here. It's a small school, what do you expect? You knew that before you came here. If you get involved and get to know people, you'll definitely make the most of your time here. People don't just roam around campus shouting, "HEY! PARTY IN APT ###!" Hence why a previous commenter said that you couldn't walk around campus and find people advertising their parties. You're ridiculous, whoever you are. Knowing people (which at JU is almost impossible NOT to) is the way to get invites. SOHO and Rain are just down the road. They aren't the best, most happening places.. But they're just good, drunken fun. Just throwing this out there, Greek life is amazing here. Everybody knows everybody, cares and recognizes you passing by on campus. There's no bitter rivalries between the sororities. The fraternities.. Well, that's their thing. Anyways, there are about 40 people in each of the Greek bodies. SPOILER ALERT: there are no houses. Sorry about your luck if you were counting on that. The food? Well, food sucks EVERYWHERE you go. Direct me to a cafe that serves amazing food on a regular basis and I will admit defeat. Please, humor me. As for the valley? It flooded a whopping ONE TIME. And for that nursing major who slipped on the ice and is now bitching about it, DON'T WALK ON ICE. Dumbass. Yes, there are a lot of stairs, but you get used to it. It's not the end of your world. You probably need the exercise anyways. I'm not returning, simply because of finances. If I could, I certainly would. Oh, it's in DIRTY DUVAL. Shut up about the location.

ARE YOU KIDDING??? JU is in the middle of Duval County which for those of you who dont know, has the highest crime rate per capita in the state of florida. The beach is 25 minutes away, your in the middle of the hood, any friends you make will end up transferring and the campus is completely unsafe after sun down. Not to mention the party situation is abismal. If you want to spend $26,000 a year at school, go to fsu, usf,ucf or any of the other schools in fla that are 100 times better. This place is a complete joke. I wouldnt be surprised if they shut down JU within the next 15 years. Friendliness: A-, Faculty Accessibility: F Have a Question?

Everyone down there is a tool from out of state who was to dumb to get into a decent florida school. (UF,FSU,USF,UCF,Miami) Seriously. this place is for the morons that couldnt get into one of the 100 good florida schools. jacksonville sucks...its not florida. Duval county has a higher crime rate than Miami-Dade. And JU is right in the heart of Duval. I would not loose a single hour of sleep if JU burned to the ground over-night. SO GLAD i left!
