Amazing campus with incredible professors! I just wish everyone in the entire world would see this college. Man oh man do i love this college. I just really need money. College is so expensive. Like seriously who has money to pay for any of this stuff? This college is amazing but i'm doing this scholarship to stave off crippling debt from my family for at least an hour. No one will read this. So that's my overall experience.
Review Johnson University
Johnson University Tennessee is a 4-year university. It is located near Knoxville, Tennessee. This is near the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. The programs are focused on Ministry, Missions, Christian Education and Telecommunications. This university is very people-friendly. Financial aid is available. There is also a work-study program to assistance students with paying for their tuition.
I am a non-traditional Student. My husband, three children and I moved to TN so that I could earn my bachelors degree. I was worried about going to classes with students much younger than me. The students and professors exceeded my expectations of school. I felt welcomed and not at all uncomfortable from the very first class. My favorite experience was the day I was having a horrible morning and was so close to having an anxiety attack that I could feel myself melting down and not able to breathe. I walked in my classroom to find 3 other students already there. I wanted to run and hide because I was embarrassed. Instead I walked up to one of them and simply said pray for me. They all laid their hands on me and prayed. Their prayer melted all of my anxiety away instantly. During the prayer our professor and other students came in. They didn't know what was going on but stopped walking immediately and bowed their heads. There was no teasing, no sidelong looks, nothing. Just pure friendship and love was shown to me. I would choose this school over and over again and have encouraged kids in my life to attend Johnson University.
