The food is awful and the dishes are never clean, the IT department never has anything working (partly not there fault because the University has the oldest and worst wireless in the world), if you hated hight school dont go here, its nothing but high school all over again.

Excellent faculty-very friendly, approachable, and intelligent. However, the student body is rather unfriendly and apathetic.

Rarely did a recruiter or someone in HR ever hear of John Carroll. Some recruiters who would open up as to why another candidate was slected for a job did admit, "Your undergraduate school was not impressive. There were candidates from better schools." (I am sure there were otehr reasons too, but it's noteworthy to hear they don't like or never heard of the school.) The Placement Office at JCU did little beyond telling you to "sell yourself - you've gotta sell yourself", as they kept posting copies from newspapers on the wall. Further, as to being a "Jesuit school" - as if that is something special - everyone is not impressed with a Jesuit school. You are competing against people from the Ivy League, the California state school system, and interviewers who hold their own religious affiliation as better. If you want to spend the rest of your life answering "Where's that?" go to John Carroll.

Some damn good professors in the humanities that expressed issues with the student body that echoed mine- scared, closed-minded Ohio kids who had an undeserved arrogance and attitude. JCU would be a better place if the students knew and accepted who they are as a student body- a glorified collection of the local Catholic high school kids too poor or dumb to get into Notre Dame (The wanna-be ND status goes right down to the similar football uniforms) The party scene is laughable- you'll wind up drinking in downtown Cleveland and meeting great people from other local universities. The professors are friendly and approachable, but they secretly are tired of the unjustified attitude from their increasingly-entitled student body.
Useful Schoolwork: A+, Social Life: F
