Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I made JCU my choice for one reason...it was the only school that really stood out and "spoke to me". (please excuse the cheesy catch phrase) I run track, and after I met coach Mann, I knew this place was for me. But forgetting track, I was attracted to the Catholic Jesuit influence. I feel comfortable knowing that the true motivations of this school, for the most part, are in the beliefs of the Jesuits and not that of those looking to get the most cash out of suckers they call students. Ok, enough of the touchy feely stuff. The campus is gorgeous and small. A Catholic university smack dab in the middle of a Jewish community...I feel safe. There are about 7 different masses to go to between 2 churches and a chapel in MY dorm hall. The biology professors are very bright, well rounded, very knowledgeable, and are highly accessable. One thing I find in common amongst many JCU students is that they seem to have this overwhelming desire to grow as people. Although most of the students will probably never admit this, I think they find comfort in the Jesuit influence. Unfortunately, there are students who attend JCU because their parents "made them" go there. This place is definately not for them. If you are looking for a drunken haze Thursday through Saturday, look elsewhere. This place is not party friendly by any means. I find that fact appealing, but JCU has been known to frustrate those who are looking to live the wild life. The food is ok I guess...I won't complain. That's it. I hope I have informed you.

The faculty is great, and so are most of the students. For those who say that this is a place which is similar to high school, I am sorry you could not fit in. Perhaps you are better suited for place with 30,000 kids. JCU is a wonderful place which would allow any student to grow into a well-developed individual.

I believe that though it might be tougher to get into a public graduate school after coming from JCU consider the size! John Carroll only has about 3 thousand undergrads so obviously there is less competition than there would be at Ohio State! And if you needed to get a 3.5 so badly in order to get into a certain grad. school you really wanted to go to...then why didn't you work harder to get over a 3.2? Come on now, that shows that JCU has decently difficult academics if you aren't even able to get a 3.5 if that was your goal. JCU is a great place for students to not only grow in academics but to grow as a person. Though I'm only in my sophomore year here, I see the faculty at JCU as genuinely caring people who love to see their students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. John Carroll is a beautiful little (yes, it is pretty small) campus. Students are so friendly, which is one of the main reasons I chose to go to JCU. Every time I went to visit, every student I talked to was super friendly and very engaging in conversation about John Carroll and why it was such a fun and great environment to attend college in. Complain about the dirty dishes and bad food in the cafeteria all you want, but if all daddy's little princesses go to JCU then don't you think that they would have left due to those little problems? I don't understand where the comment about the snobbery at John Carroll came from, very uncalled for and not true. John Carroll has very down-to-earth and normal students who chose to attend. In my opinion, JCU is the best kept secret around as far as universities go. Not many people have heard of it, but if you have, you usually know that it's a great place :) Education Quality: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: B+ Have a Question?
