JU is a quality liberal arts college. If life is an allegory, JU is rich with symbolism: oak trees; walking through a valley to get to where the learning occurs; located along a river bank—the St. Johns river no less. The campus is located on what used to be Chesterfield Plantation whose owner, "Anna" Kingsley, a former slave and widow of "Zephaniah" Kingsley, bought the property between her two daughters, "Martha" and "Mary." If that doesn't epitomize what JU stands for, remember the 1970 NCAA tourney team? JU was and in some ways still is the archetypal "Rocky"—and so are her alums. I accomplished everything I ever set out to do both personally and professionally because of JU. Her secret: the faculty. If you can take advantage of the engaged learning and the personal relationships, JU will reward you. JU is all about education for education's sake. Her mascot is the dolphin and with good reason. I got into a tier one law school because of JU. I married the lady of my dreams because of JU.Take advantage of what is there. And there's more to JU than what meets the eye.
