Christine from New York, NY
I find that even my simplest class can turn into a nightmare when I fail to review. It can be overwhelming if your like me and thought high school study skills would get you through college. The library will become your best friend from now on. But other than that you will get a lot out of your classes and it's practical.
Branda from Brooklyn, NY
Yes, John Jay is absolutely challenging, but the professors help you along the way. If you need support, they will give it to. There were so many assignments I thought were so difficult but my professors helped me through them and never once made me feel of a lesser value.
Sundas from Coram, NY
The academic difficulties at John Jay stem from an expected level of work. There is a great deal of writing and reading but perhaps the most interesting and sometimes difficult is the thought aspect. The course work here and the professors themselves will strive to challenge you mentally. All in all, the difficulty depends on how well someone can balance their schedule, time, and efforts
Stephanie from New York, NY
The faculty at John Jay College are always more than willing to help students ensure their success throughout their college career. Although success requires much dedication from the student, the faculty is always there each step of the way.

Read ahead of the assigned readings and homework. Doing this you will definitely be ahead of the class - you do not want to fall behind.
