This school is amazing. Every staff member always has a smile on his/her face and always welcoming students. The professors here treat you as if they have known you your whole life and always ask how things are going even if you're not in their class.

What a great school. The atomosphere on campus is fantastic. The sga is the way to go when it comes to getting involved. It opens so many doors.

SGA is the bomb .com !!! One of best decisions I've made is becoming an SGA member and now I am an officer. I thoroughly enjoy at how involved the SGA program is not only in the school but also in the community as well.

If you are thinking about attending John Wood Community College. Don't. Worst Decision That I Have Ever Made
Overall 1.4
Don't try and make friends there. Hardly anyone socializes outside of class and the school spirit is terrible. Women are not bad looking.

JWCC claims to offer an amazing student life; only at one time slot. Highschools have much more diversity in their scheduling, which is sad. The administration only cares about kids they recruit from around the country for the sports team; it's COMMUNITY college, I think they should help the people who pay their taxes in the community instead.
