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.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone!!! Jacksonville is a great school that makes you feel good as a group and not a single number.

The teachers here are great and are definitely willing to help you out with whatever needs you might have.

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.

The teachers are wonderful and are willing to help you in any way they possibly can.

It is a wonderful school with a beautiful campus and the dorms are nice. When you leave for a break, you actually miss it. It's such a great school!

It is super cheap! I can actually afford it all with my financial aid. It's great.

If you are looking for a great nursing, music, teaching, or computer science school, this is the school for you! We are well known for these majors!

Music, Nursing, Teaching, and Computer Science Majors

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I most definitely will learn a lot. This is such a great school. I've been there twice and learned a lot from my visit. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I think everyone is great!

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!!!

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

Live on campus your first two years, make friends, go to the Orientations, Freshman Forums, and any other school events. You will meet many nice and helpful people. Join clubs that interest you. You wont regret it.

Nursing, Theater, Law, Home EC., So much more..!

Quality of programs & majors is high- much higher than I expected.
Professors are willing to help you do well. Don't skip classes and show respect and effort.

Great family feel. Everybody is friendly and willing to help you in any way possible. The motto The Friendliest Campus In The South is so true! They live by this.

Trmendous value. You can even get in-state tuition if you follow JSU's instructions.

JSU may not even be on your radar, but give it a serious look.

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.

Jacksonville State University is, in my opinion, one of the best universities around. It has a friendly atmosphere as well as a big strive for academic excellence.

Make sure you are ready to STUDY.

You must study. I do not believe that any class is just an easy A class.

I absolutely love my dorm here at Jacksonville State University. The facilities are clean and the people are super friendly. There is also a good size living space.

The food here is great. If you do not like the Dining Hall, there are many other options.

Get involved. The main focus other than academics on this campus is the unity through organizations and other events. By being involved you meet people and form friendships that you might not have found otherwise.

You definitely get what you pay for if not more. This campus has really helped me grow as a person as well as academically.

Any student will feel welcome on this campus.

Again, by becoming involved you make new friends and have great experiences.

I am actually in a sorority on campus. Greek life here is not like it is at other schools. Here we are like a family. We support each other in almost everything we do.

Campus police are available 24/7. They are constantly patrolling the campus. Crime is not high on campus.
