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.
I am a freshman at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have completed a semester and so far the professors are lenient and will work with you to complete the task. They also encourage their students to attend their office hours for one on one conversations concerning anything about the course. Also, the resources such as workshops and the tutoring center are a great help with assignments. Lastly, even though I'm not apart of any clubs I am aware there are many clubs and activities to partake in while attending this University. I look forward to the many semesters ahead!
John jay is a very professional school, in every aspect. Your questions are always gonna be answered by someone and you won’t be left alone. They treated me and still are so great since the moment I have transferred there.
The professor are professionals and during these times they always checked up on us.
The constant communication and caring makes me wanna go back already!
