Good reviews
Overall 4.1
JCSU is a great school. Sure, a lot more work needs to be done to add to the school but I'm proud to be a Smithite. The school is full of support and I feel like everyone here is family.

None.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.4
The best thing they ever did was cancel the semester on campus. JCSU is much more tolerable online.
Overall 1.6
If you are a freshmen I feel bad for you because Liston and Sanders are the worst places on Earth. They are truly a dorm trap house.
Overall 1.7
None of the emergency buttons on campus work and anyone can come on and off campus as the please. We were actually on lockdown today for about an HOUR because of a dangerous person being on campus so safety is at an ultimate low. Dorms are disgusting with serious mold issues, no locks on bathroom stalks, and the smells are disgusting.

It's a good school and all, just not the best
Overall 1.8
The school needs to use their money right and fix the facilities. The schools a mold nightmare.
