This is a great option to complete your first two years of college economically, the college transfer professors are awesome! If you put in the work in class and join clubs, you will make great friends and have a lot of fun. Campus is near a lot of shopping and restaurants. Lots of scholarship opportunities. Plenty of support available to transfer.

Amazing for a community college. You have to be the one to reach out to find out about all the different things they may offer, but if you do, there is always a staff member to greet you with a smile. This is my first year, but I am enjoying it so far!

JCC is a really GOOD community college, every Instructor i've ever had has done an excellent job at teaching the material for class. however, JCC's only downfall is that you as a student have to stay on top of the advising department to make sure you are getting the appropriate courses for your chosen career path. all of their staff are VERY KIND!

I finally graduated from this place. JCC is an ok school. The advising is TERRIBLE! I have never had so many issues with registration. I am at another school now and they make registration much easier! The instructors at JCC are great! Parking SUCKS, and there are a lot of accidents in front of the school.
