Food is food when you're hungry. Our internet is eh in some places but overall gets the job done. Professors and staff 100000% amazing. Location is ideal- twenty minutes from Knoxville and 45 minutes to the Smokey Mts.

Reputation is pretty good, most people will tell you great thinks about Johnson. Location is awesome! Downtown Knox is like 20 minutes away and it's pretty. Internet is bad in a lot of locations and slow in some, could be worse though. Opportunities are great depending on your major, some are just being build up. Professors and staff are amazing!!!

Johnson has improved a lot over the years. All the staff and teachers are really caring and want to help you learn and grow. The campus is so pretty and is not far from the smokies. The food and internet isn't the best but it is getting better. Overall, it is a wonderful place with great people who want to help you learn and grow in God.

JU has developed its Knoxville campus into a top notch area for developing Theology and Apologetics. I was highly impressed with the professors, the staff, the facilities, and the courses. I would recommend JU to anyone.

Here's the deal, you get what you pay for. I love the area and location as its great for ANYTHING outdoors related. However it is BORING on campus. Unless you want a bromance and play video games, the activities were lacking. Also the academics are not that rigid and not a lot of diversity in course work. I don't regret going, but will not send $

Boring and needs to be add some diversity to the campus and get some activites going.
Overall 1.9
The school will over charge you for everything, financial aid is pointless to call because they are no help, and the administration has no orginization. I highly recommend any school over Johnson.
