    John A Logan College Reviews

    It is difficult to rate the school overall because some programs are MUCH better than others. The math/engineering professors tend to be very helpful, insightful, and challenging; but the student culture can be defeatist (maybe because so many students are taking calc/physics and working 40 hours a week at the same time). The music program is really bad. The teachers range from okay but boring, to fun but irresponsible—at best. The only really good music instructor was moved to a paperwork position and the music program has been a mess since then—low to no academic expectations from teachers and an unambitious student body that doesn’t care about school. History dept is easy but interesting. History classes tend to be fun and informative with quite a bit of student involvement.

    I am currently enrolled at John A. Logan pursing my RN. I love all of my professors and the admin staff was great getting me enrolled and ready for classes. There are many resources on campus, great student life, athletics, and an overall great culture of learning and thriving. My professors are challenging and expect the most out of my work, which makes the courses so rewarding. I can walk away from an exam and be proud knowing all the hard work it took to earn that letter grade. Those challenging courses are setting me up for a great career and to be successful beyond the classroom.
    The school's slogan is "why would you go anywhere else" - with great tuition cost, academia, and environment - I have to agree. Why would you go anywhere else?
    It's a community college with a decent-sized campus, and the town of Carterville has quite a bit to offer as well. John A offers a wide array of pre-baccalaureate degrees as well as many programs like lab technician, welding, machining, automotive, nursing, and more. There's a shop with really good coffee and a cafe with good food and many snack options.
