It was amazing! The staff is incredible and can help you with all your needs! The students seem wonderful, smart, and hardworking. Everyone seems to really enjoy what they’re doing/studying. It was a great environment and the building is stunning. The lecture halls and decently small so when you have a lecture it’s more intimate with the teacher. One thing i love is that all your teachers will know your name. The student population isn’t too large where you would just be a random student in a class. The teachers spend one on one time with you to help you understand what is being taught. I really recommend touring John Jay and i recommend going to get your degree there also! You will not be let down!
For a non-Private school, it's alright. The professors are willing to help you out (for the most part) and the main campus (the New Building) is gorgeous- the other 4 campuses? Mediocre, they feel more like high school buildings. The school food is great, although I've only had them for a few handful of times.
The reason why I'm writing this is regarding the school offices: they are INCOMPETENT. I am still only a Sophomore and yet, I am constantly stressed because the offices at John Jay are extremely unhelpful. They never tell you important details about anything, and I have had to wait for longer than 2 weeks just to get things sorted out, and STILL was left with so many gray areas and uncertainties. I am currently still trying to sort out the Financial Aid things because they reached back to me after a little over a month, as well as still waiting on a response regarding my GenEd requirement classes to find out what sections I can be exempt from. Lots of bs on the offices' end!

During the pandemic I started my journey here at John Jay College online, before in-person learning was permitted, and still had the ultimate learning experience. My experience only got better after we were able to be on campus and explore all that John Jay has in store! They have many resources suitable for learning and development and programs designed to fit each individual's interest.
