I am a transfer from a community college where I am continuing my education at Jackson State University where I am currently majoring in Communicative Sciences Health and Disorders. I have enjoyed my time so far, the teachers and staff within my major are very productive, punctual, helpful, and direct. They hold their students on a high pedestal to ensure that their students receive the best education to represent Jackson State University. Also, it is great being surrounded by people who can relate to me in many ways!
I like the fact that Jackson State University understands the working adult. The online degree programs are great! The professors are willing to work with students who work full-time and have families to care for. Every time I have gone to a professor for help with selecting classes, removing classes from my schedule due to lack of funding, etc., they have assisted in a timely manner. I have gone to a couple of my professors to write me a recommendation for a couple of scholarships and they were happy to and I won those scholarships with their help.
Coming to Jackson State University was a decision that I am so glad I made. I will choose this school again and again. The support you receive from the staff, classmates, and alumni is outstanding. Someone is always in your corner rooting for you to succeed. It just feels like one big warm family on campus. The administration pour a lot of effort into student success. They've invested in building us an outdoor study space, and provided all students with an aid that covers the cost of virtual course materials. They listen to what we request and they always puts us first. There are plenty of organizations and events to participate in, you will never get bored! I also feel very safe on campus. One evening, a campus police officer walked me to my car because it was late. Little things like those make me feel important at this school. I will forever love THEE I LOVE!
