    Tips for prospective students

    It is a very nice school very friendly people there. You do not have to drive to every class because everything is in walking distance. If you are having a hard time picking a school a suggest you come here because it is a great school I am so glad I chose to attend it.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are willing to learn and party a little on the side then this is the school for you. We learn and have a good time all at the same time.

    Am learning a lot

    Jacksonville is a great school where you get the one on one attention from your teachers that many big universities are not capable of. JSU offers a lot of different programs and major choices. Most likely JSU has the degree you want.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy this school. Everything you can walk to and now they have added a new transit system which will help students who have yet to get a car, especially on those rainy, cold days :) JSU has different activities from football games to fashion shows. They have activities for everyone interests.
    Bang for the buck

    From financial aid to scholarships to grants, you can apply and hopefully you will receive some financial help. You just have to apply yourself because nothing is given to you on a silver platter without a little effort.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some tips that I believe are highly important are to be on time to class, don't bum your first test, and have fun but keep your grades up so you dont have to end up dropping any classes or getting a NC (no credit) for the class. First off, being on time is important because some teachers don't allow tardys and you don't want to get an absence just because you were 5 minutes late. Second, I learned this the hard way. Aim high for your first test. Study, Study, Study!!! Some teachers only have 3 tests for the entire semester so if you mess up on one you may not be able to pull out with that A you wanted. So take the first test seriously and learn from the test so you recognize how the format of the tests are. Last but not least have fun and keep your grades up because college is fun and everything but remember you don't want to be in college for the rest of your life just because you goofed of in Biology class.

    It's a great place here. The campus here isn't too big or too small which makes places around town relatively easy to walk to.

    Be social. It will be a great way to meet new people and make great friends. I also recommend giving the dorms a try. They're not as bad as some people say it is.

    Jacksonville has an assortment of classes that will cater to any student's needs and wants. The teachers care about you as a person, not just as a number.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since I've stepped on campus as a student I have not regretted it for one second. I have met my best friends and bridesmaids, as well as those who have played a role, whether they know it or not, in the shaping of my life. There's not much to do around campus, but if you get involved you will never be bored if you that's what you choose!
    Bang for the buck

    JSU is a very pretty campus and has just as many ammenities, if not more, for its' students as far more expensive schools.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to see a smiling face everywhere you go as long as you remain on campus, I recommend you to come to Jacksonville State University. Though JSU is located in a small town, I still recommend you to get your priorities in order. It's great to have fun (and I definitely expect you to do so), but you always have to make yourself realize that school is your number one priority. It's your full-time job for at least 4 years.
    Great for these types of students

    Everyone! JSU has so much to offer to many different types of students. We have a variety of student organizations with different goals and aspects on life, but we all have one thing in common. We're Cocky and we work all work together to make sure everyone on campus feels at home.

    Am learning a lot

    Before I decided on Jacksonville State University, many people had told me that JSU meant just show up. Meaning all you had to do was just come to class and you would pass. Being here for almost a semester has proved their theory wrong. I have to attend all of my classes regularly to stay caught up with whats going on.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the JSU campus. It is not as crowded and cluttered as most universities. The only thing that I do not like is that you have to drive about 20 minutes to get to fun. Though that may be to keep the students here more focused.
    Bang for the buck

    Being here has not shown me that I have gotten all of my money's worth. Although I can say...the semester that i have almost completed has been met at my standards.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not come here if you think its all about the parties and the just show ups. Plan on doing a lot of studying because you are going to need it. Once here, I advise all students to get involved in some sort of activity/ organization, or your four years+ here will be the most boring years you've experienced in your lifetime. Also plan your schedule at times that you are most comfortable.
    Great for these types of students

    Jacksonville State University is a very friendly campus. JSU is a people campus. Once you are here the upperclassmen and faculty make you feel welcomed. This place feels like home. If you are just that country boy/girl...JSU is where you're going! After all, we are just good ole Southerners!

    Of course. I love to eat and they have many different choices for me to choose from : Chick-fil-A to Burger King to McDonalds and so much more. Nail shops and hair salons as well. Many shopping centers like Walmart, Citi Trends, and a mall in Oxford. I get excited everytime I think about it!!!
    Bang for the buck

    Have fun in everything you do. Study hard and work first and you'll have plenty of fun time with friends later!!!

    At about 10,000 students, it has all the perks of a large university but the feel of a smaller school Faculty are wonderful. Great athletics- the best band program anywhere! Greek organizations for the most part are also great. Not too snobby.

    Get involved in something. People are very acepting & friendly. Greeks are pretty much cool, too. Sports & band are very good.
    While the campus and town don't look like much, it's not just safe but quite charming. Scratch beneath the surface and you'll probably find it's a great place to go to college.

    it is a great college with many opportunities to be active. there is a great greek life here and just that in itself will keep you busy. we also have outstanding sports and there is always something to do.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would suggest coming to a football game, or any of the preview days to make sure the college is right for you. also, make sure to check out the college's scholarships it offers beforehand and to apply to as many as possible.
    Academic Rigor

    jacksonville offers a lot of majors, and also offers a great nursing and education program. but if either are not your thing, it also has great departments for other majors. all classes are obviously on college levels, but since it's a smaller school, classes are smaller and the teachers are more able to give one on one attention.
    Dorm Life

    since this is my first year here, i had to live in one of the girls doorms on campus. personally, i love it because i met so many new people that live in the same place as i do and am always around their smiling faces! plus, whenever i need anything from anyone, there is always someone right down the hall to help.
    Food and Dining

    jacksonville state also has great food! if you get a meal plan you're able to dine in the cafe or the tmb. the cafe offers all sorts of foods to choose from and the tmb includes a chick-fil-a and baja express. it's great because there is always someone to go eat with you and you always see someone you know in either place.
    What to do for fun

    i suggest greek life for anyone interested in coming here, because it is a great way to meet numerous people, especially if you're not involved in any sports. but even if you're not interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, there are plenty of other organizations to join. not only do we have great sports here, our band is known nationwide.
    Bang for the buck

    i'm so glad i chose this school to go to, because i could not imagine going anywhere else!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    one of the main places people go to here is loco mex, a newly opened mexican restaurant where you can always see people you know.
    Great for these types of students

    it's great for people interested in band, football, international students, students interested in greek life, and anyone wanting to be in a small campus and knowing everyone.
    Clubs and Activities

    many clubs are offered here, it just depends on finding the one (or more) right for you!
    Greek Life

    we have a great greek life, where each sorority and fraternity are all friends. we always stay involved with things on campus and being in a greek organization also helps you in the future past college.
    Campus Safety

    not only are we located near jacksonville police department, we also have a upd where they keep eveyone in line.

    JSU is a small campus built on many hills. I would rate JSU with five stars because of the small class sizes and how the teachers rreally try to work with the students. This is an overall great college with a great campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would have to tell future students that you do actually have to study for class. It is harder than high school, espeecially to those ho did not have to study at all. Also, actually go to class, you get points for small things like that and you can only skip classes so many times before you recieve no credit for it.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics are fairly easy, depending on which professor you have and what subject it is.
    Dorm Life

    Make sure that you know your room-mate before coming, or set up a schedule for being quiet and not disturbing each other.
    Food and Dining

    JSU has many different dining options. With the meal plan, the caf and diner are available with yummy choices everyday. If you recieve flex dollars with yourr meal plan, WOW wingery is open and amazing, especially late at night, and there is a Chick-fil-a and Baja Fresh in the TMB,
    What to do for fun

    I went Greek for fun, and it was the best decision of my life. There are also sports teams and many organizations such as Freshman Forum, BCM, and Ambssadors.
    Bang for the buck

    At JSU, you get a great education in the college-town setting. Everything is right there when you need it, the most you have to go is about three miles across campus.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Jefferson's restaurant right on campus is a must for anyone at Jax State. Its has the college feel and has been around for bout 20 years.
    Great for these types of students

    JSU is great for those who do not want to be in a big city going to school, are planning on going into education or nursing, and would consider going Greek without having to deal with the politics of biggers universities.
    Clubs and Activities

    Greek organizations, Freshman Forum, Ambassadors, BCM.
    Greek Life

    Greek life is absolutely amazing. I am a Phi Mu and it is the best decision I have ever made. When you do not have the money to go home, or live too far away, there are always sisters there to hang out with and who will be there as a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen to any problems. Greek life is one of the ways to meet many new friends at JSU, without it I would have probably stayed in my dorm the whole year.
    Campus Safety

    UPD is right on campus. Be careful where you park, they will give out tickets if you are not in your designated zone or if you park in handicapped spots that are not marked well.

    I love Jacksonville State University. There are so many opportunities to get involved, and there so many groups that I am able to be a part of. So far college has been a great experience for me, and I am excited to continue my education at Jacksonville State University.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students for Jacksonville State University is to get involved. Getting involved with different organizations makes the college experience that much better. There are so many fun activities planned throughout the school year.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes at JSU are not exactly a cake-walk. They are challenging and will test you to the best of your ability. The professors I have had so far have been very caring and understanding through various situations, but in order to receive quality grades, you have to work hard and earn them.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life at Jacksonville State University is so much fun. The Resident Assistants always have different activities planned and help us get involved at any chance they get.
    Food and Dining

    The food at Jacksonville State University is pretty good also. There aren't that many choices to chose from, but the ones there is are amazing. My favorite at Jacksonville State University is WOW wings. They never fail to amaze me.
    What to do for fun

    Jacksonville is a small, conservative town, so there isn't much to do actually off campus. But on campus there is always something going on. There is always a party somewhere, or a sporting event, or an SGA event.
    Great for these types of students

    JSU is great for students who work well in a very small classroom size. The highest classroom size I have had at JSU is probably about 30. It is where you are on name-to-name basis with the professors, which helps me personally.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many clubs and activities to get involved in at JSU. There is SGA, Freshman Forum (for incoming freshmen), BCM and other religious groups, there are any kind of intramural sport you can think of.
    Greek Life

    I am not personally involved in the Greek Life, but I have friends who are and they seem to love it. The sisterhood that is gained by joining a sorority are the kind that will last the rest of you life.

    JSU's campus is a very safe place. There are always university police driving around and there are emergency poles placed all throughout the campus.

    Tips for prospective students

    The best tip that i have for any prospective student is to realize that things are much different in college and you should make sure you have good time management as well as organizational skills.
    Academic Rigor

    Like any other institution things are easier in some areas than others. overall most of the classes require that you pay great attention and study a lot so you can have success in the class.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm life is different throughout, but in some of the lower level freshman dorms, things are quite rowdy and can be disruptive to the education of the students.
    Food and Dining

    Jacksonville State university has many different choices of dining. There is also a wide variety, both on campus and off. There are a few different restaurants on campus as well as a diner and a cafeteria.
    What to do for fun

    Jacksonville is located around areas like Aniston where you can find things to do, but for around the nearby campus there is really not a lot to do except for the sporting events at the school.
