Categories Comments Campus Safety I always see security cars and personnel around. I've never witnessed any unsafe acts and have always felt safe while in class and on campus.
Great for these types of students Great for students who work odd hours as you can do online classes too. For those who live far away- sometimes they hold classes at other locations that may be closer to your home or have web-based classes at a location nearer to you.
Bang for the buck For the program that I am going for JSCC has the best tuition rate around. Paying for gas to go to class is the only down side I have to deal with.
What to do for fun This city of Jackson itself has a mall, shopping center, and movie theater and plenty of restaurants. The college sends out information on upcoming events, sports games, etc but since I don't live close I don't attend.
Food and Dining I have not ate on campus but local restaurants are great.
Dorm Life You can rent apartments off campus and I've heard that some are pretty nice.
Academic Rigor If you attend the lectures/labs and read your material/study outside of class you will do fine. You get out of it what you put into it.
Tips for prospective students If JSCC has the degree/program you are wanting to do I would recommend talking to students who go there/graduated from there with that same degree. Ask them questions about the campus, the teachers, the commute, the classes you need to take, etc and see what they have to say. Next I'd meet with your advisor and get your whole degree plan summarized. Have it written out on when you will be taking what classes for what semester. That way you can visually see the work you have ahead of you laid out before you and know what to expect semester after semester. Finally, apply for FAFSA. College isn't cheap and any financial aid is always a plus!
In three sentences I'm a returning college student who was a little apprehensive of going back to school after being away from it for 7 years. After touring a few different campuses around west TN I found Jackson State Community College was a perfect fit for me and my current lifestyle. The campus has been very easy to navigate- finding classrooms is a breeze. Every faculty member that I have talked to has been very professional and nice. Class sizes have been good- not too big where you feel disconnected but not too small where you stand out. Even the online classes have been a breeze to navigate and the instructors are easy to get a hold of! I've felt extremely comfortable and confident in my schooling here and look forward to continuing my education and applying for their PTA program. JSCC may be a bit of a drive for me (I live in Paris, TN) but is totally worth it with its tuition rates, nice campus, and friendly atmosphere.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Around Jackson State campus there are some days where there will be some fun activities around campus but majority of the time the only thing to do for fun is to hang out with friends.
Food and Dining There aren't any big restaurants on campus. We have one little restaurant called Soup DuJour but it really doesn't sale any good quality food unless you like bagels, donuts, and muffins.
Dorm Life There aren't any dorms at Jackson State Community College. But there are plenty of apartments complexes that surrounds Jackson State.
Academic Rigor As long as you keep your academics first, you will have nothing to worry about. But if you choose to put anything before your academics then you will have some serious problems at the end of the semester.
Tips for prospective students My tip to students is be on time. Make sure you grow a very strong relationship with your professors as well as the staff members because one day you will need them for some reason.
In three sentences Jackson State Community College is the best community college in Jackson, TN.
