The staff and faculty are overall very welcoming, they are on top of questions the students have and concerns. The peers I have met throughout my college experience are all passionate about being at John Jay and being a part of the school. My peers and faculty have helped me through studying, internships, possible scholarships, suggestions on classes and jobs, they are both very helpful as the surrounding atmosphere is outstanding! I am very proud to be a part of the John Jay community because of how much understanding and passion everyone around me has, everyone wants to do well, it encourages me to better in my academics and pursue my academic goals.
I liked the majority of my professors. They are really good at their jobs and help students whenever they need help. So far I have not pumped into any "bad" professors but I know there won't be since John Jay has the best professors thus far in my opinion. The campus is amazing and unique and definitely not like any other campus I've seen in New york. Ending my first year of college, I have experienced so much. I have mainly experienced it more in my first semester before the pandemic and I'm grateful to have at least experienced a semester. It was better than what I expected and I got to learn and meet wonderful professors and friends! Although it was a bit tuff in the beginning since I was adjusting but I wouldn't trade my experience for anything. However, one thing I would change is being less shy in class because for some reason it is very unlike me to have not been as outgoing as I was in high school. But you live and you learn in life and that's what makes it an experience.
My expierence was the best that it could be during COVID-19. I’m glad that when I transferred here I got at least half a semester in person. My professors were very understanding of the pandemic circumstances and tried to make things as manageable as possible. Even during the pandemic I achieved high scores and a social life as the Habitat for Humanity Treasurer at John Jay College. I was able to make friends among my peers and also create events for members to make friends as well. I’m excited to go back in the Fall!
