Jacob - 01/17/2020

I chose this school because of the opportunity the basketball coach has given me to be a part of his team. So in the sense of sports and the opportunities that lie here are very good. Academically, the classes are smaller in size due to it being a community college. These are a couple of things that I looked for in my college search. This school is very good for someone that is coming to learn, personally grow, and achieve what they want. Do not come here looking for a vacation.

Amy - 06/06/2019

Jamestown Community College offers amazing programs with classes, both, on campus and online. The professors are amazing and always willing to help. The learning center has amazing tutors, free to students, with very flexible hours. The college brings in guest speakers, entertainers, and holds activities on campus that really keep the community active and engaging. Overall, this is a great community college and I would highly recommend it.

CHARLES - 08/28/2017

I'm really enjoying the school so far. I like being in the dorms because I'm on campus and know everything that's going on, the students are friendly and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating during registration. This is not my first college experience, but it is the best so far. The campus is small and intimate and I think I'm going to do well here.

Brian - 06/29/2017

I think it is one of the best values for the dollar. The faculty and staff are knowledgeable and very accommodating. The lessons learned here will carry on through life.

Dont take a class because you think that it will be easy, or drop out of a class if you think its going to be to hard. Take some math classes and learn a thing or two. Math is important and is important in college, and everyday life. I hear the future say its my time to shine and do what is needed to get the best education. You need to ready yourself for the future ahead as it is more tremendous than a senior at this high school. The bell rings, time to leave, learning that it is important to pay attention.

  5. What's unique about your campus?

    College is a place where you can extend your knowledge to be successful in everyday life. College prepares you for what is to come in the future, and is a place to get you started. The best thing about JCC is the education, even though its a cheaper school I belive that everyone gets the same education no matter where you go to school. I believe this is the best thing because education is the reason we go to college in the first place and learning is the basis to everyday life.

  6. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    The college I attend did come with some suprises I wished I known before I came. The education is a little different than what it was in high school as college does not just hand work out to you. I found this to be more of a reponsibility issue than a surprise. On the other hand high school was just give and take which did not really prepare kids to develop that responsibility. We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.
