Absolutely loved every second I was here. Going to miss this place more than anything next year
Overall 4.9
I fell in love with John Carroll. The community and faith bleeds through this schools roots. The professors are so caring and they want their students to succeed in all that they do. The sports teams have a great camaraderie. I am also loving how all the students are so close knit. The small school feel is also another good feeling to add!

JCU is a great school. Not many schools do you have a chance to graduate looking at a salary average for business students in the mid $60,000 range.

Best decision I've ever made. There are amazing people here.
Overall 4.8
coming to JCU was the best decision of my life. It is extremely well respected, the job opportunities and education you receive are some of the top in the region and country. You can always meet new people everyday. The location is perfect, not too far from downtown CLE. If people say they do not like JCU, they just simply didn't have any friends.

Really good school
Overall 4.6
I love the campus, I constantly have visitors reminding me that it's beautifully designed and taken care of. The school is working on updating facilities that are less than ideal and they are always finding ways to be even better. For the rest of your life, you'll hear comments like, "John Carroll? That's a great school!"

Great campus, fantastic people, the Caf could be better but it's still pretty decent. Generally a fantastic school!
Bad reviews
Overall 1.5
This school is simply a joke. The staff is simply awful and do not teach well. Most students are extremely rude and think they are better than you. The dorms are outdated despite being renovated recently. The internet was replaced this year and it is still not working 8 weeks into school.Simply do not come to this school and save yourself the money
Overall 1.6
You might think you want a school this small, but you don't. Go to a bigger school with more people. You will find better people there. Most people stay here because of scholarships, otherwise they would transfer.
Overall 1.9
One of my biggest regrets was being choosing this school, unless you're business this school has barely any active clubs, is extremely understaffed, and the wifi never works. They boast about how good of a school they are and make so many claims that are outright false about what their school has to offer, it is literally another high school.
Overall 1.9
This school deserves no prestige other than its business school where it clearly favors students with those majors as it makes them the most money. It may have many clubs listed on the campus website, but by one of their worker's on admission, very few of them are active. The internet is the absolute worst and it's very cliquey on campus. HS 2.0.

I wish I went to a bigger school. They have more money and can afford nicer things. JCU sometimes seems desperate trying to make its students not hate it.
