I would give 0 stars if i could. I'm a student here and even I feel so overwhelmed. It's physically…read moreand emotionally and mentally draining. Once you step on campus you already feel a heavy pressure, all eyes on you and not a good stare. When it comes to academic they are good with it but not so great with communication with the students. Only 6 teachers are good at communicating with their students and try to be friendly with them. They aren't as helpful when it comes with asking for something. They always ignore or make them about themselves and never give students a voice for themselves. All in all it's too much to handle and sucks! (Shout out to Ms.strong, ms.holloway, ms.knowles, Mr.thomas, ms.karen, ms.alba) Ps the school looks like a mental hospital or a prison, next thing u know we will have blue gowns or orange jumpers as uniform

Good school with good facilities. Main complaint is that the library is supposed to be used for…read morequiet studying. Being quiet is a rule of thumb for visitors to the library but is expected of the library's employees. Unfortunately this library isn't a good spot to study at though as there are two employees there who shamelessly flirt with each other just about every day. They laugh and bellow so loud that you can't focus on what you're doing even with earphones on. I'm glad they like each other and they have some kind of thing going on. Everyone who spends more than 20 min in the library when they're both working at the front desk knows of them. The issue lies in the common courtesy they don't extend to those who need to use their facilities to study/get things done. If it weren't for the constant chortling and loud laughter from the pair, this would be a great study space.

North Campus is a much smaller campus than South Campus. The focus of this campus is medical…read moredegrees, culinary arts, and cosmetology. This campus is great because they offer very low priced dental cleaning. They even offer low priced hair salon and a fine-dining restaurant on campus. (Even the regular old cafeteria food here was superb!) This is a very important thing for us who are not blessed with health insurance, especially in these ridiculous economic times. The only draw back is that these services are only available for very limited hours (only on weekdays when most of us are working). I went here for the radiography program, and my teachers were excellent. The program director was extremely helpful and personable and answered any questions I had about the program or the career.

The 5-week in-person evening class with Stephanie Montoya was great. I chose this class because I…read morework during the day and Stephanie's bio on the school site mentioned she was a long-term teacher in the local school system. She made learning easy and always answered any questions the class had. Her Powerpoint and Kahoot! games were very useful for the EOC (end of course exam). I know she has prepared me to do well on my state exam coming up in a few weeks. I highly recommend taking the course with her if you are looking to get into real estate and need a class that is offered in the evenings.

My perspective for this review is probably going to be different. I was a visiting guest…read moreartist/assistant for an all day ceramic workshop for the juniors and seniors taking ceramics. I arrived early with Professor Cottrell from FSCJ and brought in wheels and supplies for the day and then checked in at the office for our guest badges. I did complete the background check process for Duval County Schools ahead of my visit. Being a school focused on arts was just fun to take in- art everywhere. The school plays music in between classes- fun or quirky music. Outside of the ceramics class was an outdoor sculpture garden filled with student and guest artists work! Including works from my professor. I was impressed with how clean the studio was and also intrigued about curriculum. Most of the students had never thrown on the wheel- which made things interesting. Our actual project was a handbuilt pumpkin. We taught the students how to make pumpkins from slab roller, to texture/surface decorating, to building. And we saved plenty of time at the end of the day for cleanup- which I am pretty sure both teachers were stunned about! I have a habit of keeping a tight schedule when doing events like this. My professor recently discovered my hidden talent and that's how I was invited to Douglas Anderson. I hope to return again for future projects- the exchange of ideas amongst creatives is always inspiring to me.

I attended this school when I was much younger, so I cannot comment much on the current curriculum…read more All I know is that most people who attended school here wore DA goggles. Lol. Back when I went, the curriculum was similar to college in that you had a proposed major and all your teachers were actually artistically inclined in some way or another. (I remember my government teacher was a guitar player.) The arts span both visual and performing arts (2-d and 3-d visual artists, dancers, musicians, vocalists, actors, even theatre technical staff). When I attended, they did not have culinary arts or graphic arts (since the internet was still in its infancy.... wow does this review make me sound like a dinosaur? haha), but maybe it has changed now. Who knows? Anyway, I wish I had stayed for the entire 4 years of high school, but fear of becoming a starving artist and teasing from my bro drove me out of this school. The irony is I now work at the creative department in my company designing things... Lol. If you've got a budding artist or performer in your family, definitely consider this magnet school. You got to audition, and it's much easier to become a student if you're a freshman. So don't wait too long to try out!

Jacksonville University may market itself like a prestigious private university with a $60,000+…read moreprice tag, but our family's experience was extremely disappointing -- especially for student athletes. My daughter attended JU, ran track and field on scholarship, and recently graduated with her master's degree. While we're proud of her for persevering, the way she and other athletes were treated throughout her time there was unacceptable. Injuries were consistently downplayed, and there was pressure to continue training and competing despite ongoing issues. My daughter is not someone who quits, so she pushed through, and in our opinion it only made things worse physically. Student athlete health and long-term well-being should come before performance. There also seemed to be a clear priority system within athletics where bigger sports received better treatment while track and field and cross-country were often overlooked. Trainers appeared far more focused on higher-profile sports, while runners frequently felt neglected or brushed aside. The school would push athletes to participate in fundraising programs with promises of team gear if certain donation goals were met. My daughter met the required goals, only to later be told there was not enough gear available anyway. Situations like that were incredibly frustrating and felt dishonest to the athletes putting in the effort. The dorm conditions were also terrible at times, including mold concerns that did not seem to be handled with the urgency they deserved. Campus maintenance overall felt lacking. Her vehicle was repeatedly damaged in parking areas with no accountability, and landscaping crews constantly blew dirt and debris all over students' cars. The dining hall food was another major disappointment. We heard repeated complaints about food quality and cleanliness, including bugs and hair found in meals. That is completely unacceptable for a university charging premium tuition prices. Thankfully, my daughter graduated and moved on, but if I were paying full tuition for this school, I would be furious. Families considering Jacksonville University -- especially athletes -- should strongly research all other options before committing.

Notice all the positive reviews are non-students. Mixed bag of faculty. Some great, others not so…read more Overheard their Director of Nursing say that "she shouldn't be here" on my first day of class/lab. Thought that was highly unprofessional. Another professor for same class was overheard stating in front of students, that a cohort not professional. Back at you! I find them to be highly disorganized and dismissive of students. Overpriced for sure. The quality doesn't equal the pricetag. Seem to have no concept that their students are their customers. I am giving it 3 stars instead of two because there are some really good professors, but overall my experience so far has been less that pleasant.
