This University is not a safe place to send your child if you care about them and their safety. I spent two semesters living on campus, my freshman year and they were the worst months of my life; communal bathrooms are not clean, things are broken often and do not get fixed, and security cameras are few and far between. The campus itself is not in a good neighborhood, which is a common fear of most people. Administration has done nothing to make the campus safer, there are not any cameras in parking lots, the cameras in the municipal parking garage do not work, and people are able to walk on to campus even if they do not attend the school. Young children steal student's bikes in broad daylight and grown adults walk onto the campus as well. The cafeteria food is not good and the staff is 99.9% of the time very rude, and you may get a plate of food thrown at you even if you are polite. I have witnessed people be served raw chicken, romaine lettuce when there was an E. coli outbreak, and also contract E. coli. The Bursar's office constantly removed and added money to my account saying one day I owed X amount of dollars and then one day I owed Y amount of dollars, and whenever I asked why my balance fluctuated during the semester, they had no answer. Financial aid is not easy to deal with especially if your family makes a mid-range income. If you household income is low or very high, do not expect to pay a lot per year. The social environment is like high school: judgmental and everyone stays in their own "clique" The only reason I will give this "university" a 2-star review is because the professor's do care about you and your success. They will work with you, and help you when need be. Every professor I had only wanted their students to succeed, and nothing else (with the exception of a woman who just had graduated from college and did not know the subject which she was teaching).

I have been dealing with this school since December of 2015 and it has been a huge hassle. I give the school 3 stars because the actual classes are amazing, the teachers are wonderful, and I have felt challenged in my education, which is everything I would want in a school. I feel like I am getting a lot done because my classes are 8 weeks longs so I have 2 semester into 1, which can also be a burden because the cost per credit hour is still high. The issue I have is that this they have a separate company that runs the actually classes, which I guess is fine, but trying to get one person on the phone to fix something, you are having to call different numbers because you may not be sure which department or which business runs that section. I am an military spouse who is overseas, and my only means of communication is email. The financial aid department does not get back to you in a timely fashion. I have been told by my representative several times that I would get kicked out of my classes if I don't pay the balance, but no one would answer on the financial aid side to tell me if I have financial aid and loans to pay for it. When I would look on my profile, it never told me if I had aid even available for the semester. Then when I would email them, it would take 3-4 days of them getting back to me, and with the time difference, sometimes communication for one small thing would turn into a 2 week process. Now I understand my situation is rare, but even when I was in NY transitioning to overseas I had issues with communication and getting someone on the phone. I don't like that they have the school running some things and then another company running others, it requires me to have to talk to too many people in order to get things handled. The classes are great, but the set up for the school is not.

This school is one of the best veteran friendly schools in the U.S. currently we are in the top 100, we even have our own USO sponsored lounge called the defenders den where we can be around fellow veterans. The classes here are incredible and the professors genuinely care and thrive off interaction. You will not become another gear in the chain at this university, also the campus even though small is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been to other schools and I am sincerely proud to finish my degree at an institution that values their Veteran population.

The worst school ever! I did a year at JU and lived on campus! there is nothing to do! You will be bored out of your mind if you are from the north. The staff was unhelpful, and forget about getting any extra financial help. I come from a one parent house hold and my mom lost her job I went into the aid office to see if they can help me with any extra aid and all they could offer was goods from the food pantry. What a joke

I attended a friends graduation. I cant believe how cheap the administration of this university is. With all the money they have, the graduation took ace outdoors... You could even see the graduates. Parking facilities suck. I feel sorry for the relatives who had any type of disability. Overall was an unpleasant experience... Will never ever attended another graduation at this university....

I long planned on JU being my top choice for my undergrad, my parents are alumni. Today, I read an article about one of their female athletes experiencing abuse and the tragedy that followed. It is now completely off the table for me. More people should be aware of what happened so they can factor it into their educational plans.

The staff is wonderful and the campus is beautiful. There could be a little more convenient parking, but the biggest issue are the potholes. Otherwise, a very vibrant and active campus with a staff of teachers that care quite a bit, at least in the music department.

My daughter was a Freshman 2020 - 2021. She loves it at JU. We love Florida and love coming to visit. Go Dolphins …

My nephew graduated from the Engineering School at this university. Beautiful campus, lot of trees and eco-friendly buildings.

Went on a tour. Very nice campus. Would have liked a little more information.
