    Am learning a lot

    Being a music major, I can't really comment on a large portion of the classes offered at Jamestown Community College. Not to sound full-of-myself, I am a little ahead of where the music classes are, so I'm not learning a lot in them. But, the general education courses that I have had to take have all been very educational.
    Am enjoying being here

    The people at JCC are all very welcoming (teachers and students alike). Being one of the few people attending JCC that didn't come from a local school, I was worried that I would not be able to break into the already existent cliques, but that hasn't been a problem.
    There are also a huge variety of activities on campus. In the last two semesters we have had concerts with internationally know artists, concerts featuring the students, art shows, games shows, ice-cream socials and tons more.
    Bang for the buck

    You can't beat the price. For a full time NYS resident the tuition is only $1,860 a semester (and only $3,720 for non-residents)!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you plan on living on campus (I am not), apply early. There is only space for 220 students!
    Don't be afraid to go and talk to the teachers to see if it is right for you. Any of the staff that I have met, have been wonderful and accommodating. As long as you let them know you are coming, I'm sure they would love to sit down and talk with you.
    Great for these types of students

    JCC is great for students that come from small schools, or prefer small classes. Since the classes are small, teachers are able to accommodate all of their students either in class or during office hours. I feel JCC is an amazing stepping stone between high-school and larger universities.

    it's a nice community college with good teachers, facilities and dorms. it's a small campus, but set up very nice and convenient for students.

    come to jcc if your big into nursing or business. they both have great programs for those majors.
    Academic Rigor

    not really that hard depending on your major of course.

    great meal plans and fresh selection of food everyday.
    What to do for fun

    the smaller campus leads to a better student teacher relationship. the offices are all very helpful also.
    Tips for prospective students

    don't be afraid to ask questions.
    don't be to worried about not having a designated major.
    Academic Rigor

    the nursing program here is top notch, although i myself am not a part of it.
    this campus can be both very easy and incredibly challenging, it depends on the course.
    Dorm Life

    the buildings themselves are very nice. the furniture is so comfortable, as are the beds. also the full stove and sink along with the bathroom is a nice touch.
    Food and Dining

    the food here is good, but the kitchen isn't open past five most days and is kind of expensive.
    What to do for fun

    we have a beautiful hiking trail that is within walking distance of the campus. the reg lenna center in dowtown jamestown always has something going on for a person to attend.
    Bang for the buck

    for how cheap the price is (i pay only 10,000 a year and i am out of state) the quality of the education is excellent.
    Great for these types of students

    any student who is afraid of college or being out on their own.
    Clubs and Activities

    you can make any club that isn't there, or join one of the many that are.
    Campus Safety

    Am learning a lot

    In high school, I had the opportunity to take some JCC classes without having to go to the campus itself. So before I even graduated high school I was already learning a lot of information! I took two U.S. History courses, three English courses, two Spanish courses, a public speaking course, and even a health science course. They offered so much for me as a high school student I knew what to expect when I attended. When I actually went to the campus after high school for my classes, the teachers were just as awesome as they were in high school. They were all helpful and willing to meet with students one on one. I was able to take such a variety of different classes I know I learned a lot! Being able to take all these different classes in a close and helpful environment helped me figure out where I wanted to focus my major on!
    Am enjoying being here

    JCC definitely allowed me to enjoy my time there from all the different clubs and sporting events that would be going on. I could have even started my own club if I had wanted to! Although I don't live in the dorms, I can see how much those who do enjoy it. Being on such a quaint campus, it is easy to make friends, whether you go and watch the movies they show nightly, play card games in the Student Union, or join a sports or intramural team!
    Bang for the buck

    If someone were to be looking for the cheapest way to get a wonderful education, JCC is the route to go. Since I graduated in the top ten percent of my graduating class, JCC offers us their USA scholarship, allowing me to go there for two years tuition free! Needless to say how much money they saved me.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you choose to go to JCC, keep in mind it is a STATE school, so the credits you receive here will transfer to another state school. But if you wish to transfer to a private school, you will want to make sure the classes you take match up to the curriculum of your intended transfer school!
    Great for these types of students

    JCC is great for the student who does not want to go too far from home yet, or if they are moving far from home, going to JCC will make them feel like they are at home with such a close community. It is great for the prospective student who wants to get the same education he or she would get by going to the University at Buffalo or some other major state school. JCC is a great starting point for those who just need a good place to get back in the groove if they had been out of the education system for a while as well.
