    the sense of community is so awesome at this school. everyone is so friendly and welcoming. i love living on campus and being involved.
    Tips for prospective students

    check out the school on preview day. try to live on campus if you can so you can be involved in all of the activities. if you have to be a commuter student, try and make connections to some of the residents so that you can stay involved in the student community!
    Academic Rigor

    classes are challenging but rewarding. the professors are phenomenal, top notch instruction
    Dorm Life

    awesome! lots of camaraderie and bonding. study groups help to get through the academic part of college life.
    Food and Dining

    cafe is great most of the time, occasionally there are some dishes that aren't that great. i think this could be a common issue at other schools too.
    What to do for fun

    activities in the area are endless! skyzone, bowling, movies, laser tag....the list goes on
    Bang for the buck

    an education definitely worth paying for. professors are available when needed.

    Am learning a lot

    The education at William Jessup University is truly high quality. As a psychology major, I have been lucky to experience the best the school has to offer. The overqualified professors here at WJU pour time and passion into every detail of their lecture, making sure to entertain every learning style. While there is a strong incorporation of their religious belief within the program, it is presented in such a way as to not discriminate against other religions.
    Am enjoying being here

    My experience at WJU has been nothing less than positive. In addition to excellent academics, the community offered at this school is second-to-none. Whether you are a commuter or find yourself living in the recently constructed dorms or on-campus apartments, the community around you is welcoming and supportive. WJU almost like a small family - now that I'm here, I couldn't see myself anywhere else!
    Bang for the buck

    While it's initial cost may seem intimidating, I have seen few other academic institutions with a financial aid department as capable as WJU's. With the aid of the many immediately-awarded scholarships and grants given by the school, it is almost impossible to pass this school up as a serious consideration.
    Tips for prospective students

    As with any college, the adventure you experience at WJU will be directly reflective of the time put into it. Try your best to involve yourself in on-campus activities or local service projects; you will find that the local community is heavily involved and knowledgeable about WJU, and will gladly welcome the school's student body.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students interested in a safe, close-knit, family-friendly environment. Unless college-party is on your list of expectations for a well-rounded, thorough education, I cannot recommended this school enough.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes at Jessup are top notch!! Every class is small enough where there is good teacher to student interaction. They make the assignments and projects as close as they can to real life scenarios which benefits every student for his or her future.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus and people are extremely friendly. Wish there were more activities but rooting for our athletic teams are always fun and bring a lot of school spirt.
    Bang for the buck

    Although Jessup is an private school it defiantly isn't the most expensive. They offer a lot of scholarships to help each and every student and try to make it affordable to all.
    Tips for prospective students

    To go sit in on a class to make sure it is what you want. And to talk to other students to see how friendly everybody is and see what the campus life is really like.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are real religious or wanting a smaller more structured school and campus then this place is the school for you.

    Visit the school
    What to do for fun

    There are many close places for weekend trips including Sacramento, Davis, San Francisco, Tahoe, Reno, and Santa Cruz. There are also many great restaurants and fun things to do around the town.

    The professors here at Jessup invest themselves in the lives of their students in providing them with all the help they could ever need. The quality of their instruction has been superb and I have found that if there is anything you don't understand all you have to do is ask for help!
    Am enjoying being here

    All my fellow students are super friendly and really take the time to talk to you and get to know who you are. The sense of community one feels on the Jessup campus is truly unrivaled.
    Bang for the buck

    William Jessup University provides its students with excellent options for financial aid including numerous institutional scholarships for nearly all levels of academic excellence. Although tuition runs around $20,000 without scholarships you really do get what you pay for here at Jessup, which is ultimately a community of students and teachers who come alongside you to ensure your success.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of Jessup's Preview Days and Scholar's Events! These events are the best opportunity you will have for experiencing the everyday atmosphere at the college and provides you with the opportunity to delve into college life through participating in chapel, school sponsored activities, and even classes.
    Great for these types of students

    Jessup is an excellent place for students looking for a home away from home while still getting the full college experience. At Jessup, you not only get an education, you get a family!

    Will learn a lot

    William Jessup is new to the Placer County area and as a university, so it is still expanding its programs and does not have as much as some of the older schools do, but from what I can tell the teachers are dedicated and the programs they do have are as good as any other school. Also, for anyone interested in deepening their faith or learning more about Christianity they have a lot to offer because it is everyone's minor unless you choose it as your major and they incorporate it in all they do.
    Will enjoy being here

    Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so nice when I have visited (I have visited twice about a year apart). Even the students who are not Ambassadors make sure you feel at home as do the teachers. They are still expanding as I said before, but the activities they do offer are pretty cool. Everyone, even if they are not on a team, seems to get involved with the sports & intramurals, and they have a strong service program.
    Bang for the buck

    It's a private school, but tuition as of right now is not too bad, although someone said it will probably be up to normal private school price within the next few years. That said, however, they do offer a good number of scholarships for incoming freshmen, and you can get scholarships if you take on a leadership role your sophomore year on. They also mentioned getting a job on campus or helping you get a job in the area, which could be useful in paying. Also, if you enter as a freshman, do what you need to do for your major & don't change it constantly they guarantee graduating in 4 years, so you don't have to worry about possibly paying that tuition any longer than that.
    Tips for prospective students

    Start looking at schools as soon as possible, especially if you have a long list. Look at some schools you never thought you'd be interested in, because you might be surprised. See if the campus fits your personality based off what they value, how the students and teachers interact with one another, and the size.
    Great for these types of students

    WJU is great if you want a small-close knit community where you know your teachers and classmates and your teachers and classmates know you. It is also great if you are either faith-filled or are open to learning about Christianity. It is not great if you just want to get your diploma and run and not really get involved on-campus or in the community.
