Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Anyone can get into JSC. Weather you want to apply to the school, get wasted, or stalk girls. JSC is a relitivly safe place. It is safe due to luck. Public saftey is primarly focused on locking up doors. During the night time public saftey officers are at their apartments playing video games. I have called public saftey because homeless people were sleeping in the common rooms in the dorms. They would not make the dorms secure. I called P/S because there was a big comotion in the student parking lot. It took them over 5 minutes to come over. P/S watched a car get stolen and did nothing about it. They are lucky nothing serious has happend. The councleing center sucks. In 2007, a Sr. student was suicidal. He went to the councleing center and eventualy commited suicide in the bacement of a dorm building. There is this kid currently on campus (2008) who talks about how he thinks it would be cool to kill people who piss him off. He says how he thinks it would be cool to set himself on fire and run after people. I have reported this to P/S and Res-Life and nothing has been done. House-keeping has some flaws. In the dorm building I live in (MART) the house-keeping lady wont clean the showers for weeks, sometimes even months. When students move into their new rooms, the rooms often times are still filthy. Some students have contracted fungus conditions from the rooms. They seldomly clean the mattreses before students move into their rooms. The majority of the teacher's I've had do not care. Some do care. Most dont. One teacher in particular would start class 10 minutes late. She would take 1-3 cigarette breaks during an hour and fifteen minute class and then let class out 20 to 30 minutes eirly. The quality of teaching was very poor. There is a HUGE drug problem. I have at times felt like a minority. Many people binge drink and do many kinds of illegal drugs. The college doesn't seem like they want to do much to prevent the drug being on campus. Many students live localy. During the weekends many go home. It seems like a ghost town on the weekends. Percentage of Freshman to Sophmore retention is 61%. The percentage of students who attend johnson for 6 years and graduate is 34%. They say 6 years because it is the highest percentage they can get for people who graduate from johnson.

Its very small, but its a strong community. Someone said that there is a drug problem, yeah, there are some drugs but there are going to be drugs wherever you go and at johnson, if you dont want to be around them then its probable that you wont see them. The music department professors are all knowledgeable and friendly and want you to succeed so they will help you as much as they can if you ask them. The only problem I have is with the funding, we have only a few resources compared to other schools but that is not the professors' fault. I rated the 'surrounding city' a C because it is extremely small and there isn't much to do but it's only 45 minutes or so away from Burlington where there is plenty. Montreal is too only a few hours away if you want to drive. The college has really improved since I started going there as far as student activities are involved, every weekend they try to have some sort of special activity and there are always different shows going on at the Dibden center. The only problem is that most of the students are from the area so they go home on the weekends so there isn't much attendance to these events. Lots of students may complain about Johnson, but its going to be like that wherever you go, there are no schools where everyone is completely satisfied with their school choice. Over all, I do recommend at least going to an open house at Johnson State and any other schools you are interested in to really get a good look at them before you decide.
