Top Rated 15 University in Jacksonville, FL - A Smart Choice for the Future part 2

Van Vo Love the environment is nice and quiet. Nature friendly, have variety plants and trees that from everywhere. They even labeled all the plants and tree. Beautiful art display throughout school. Love to stroll around school. I feel very safe here.

Ayla Softic Amazing tour guide and also has a big gym,with Starbucks and chick ful a i would recommend going here!!

Christopher Kelley I graduated from here in 2019 and I was able to graduate quite quickly due to there access to classes and staff that were able to assist in the process. Campus Relatively safe, relatively clean. Although I will say mold grows fast in the dorms it’s all I can do to stay on top of it. Teachers are nice. If you are coming here otherwise, there campus and trails are very pretty and if you life nearby i would recommend on a weekends if you dont have the time for a state park.

Erik Blomgren What kind of school closes down it’s fine arts programs AFTER the deadline to audition and apply for transfers has already passed? That’s absolutely outrageous. Horrible mismanagement.

dimitry Ross (Disclaimer: This review is aimed towards the administration and the housing department, NOT towards the professors, so far my professors have been mostly great!) Alright lets begin. This school has a housing policy that requires full time students to live 3 years on campus, cost of living on campus per semester starts at $5,300. comparatively nearby apartments are much cheaper than this. Additionally, you are given the idea that your housing situation improves within the 3 year required on campus living. This is a flat out lie as housing lottery is biased towards sports and Greek life. If you are not a member of either, have fun because you will live in the same living conditions all 3 years. Living conditions that are worse than Soviet communal living as Oak hall has only one kitchen in a building with 500 people, one laundry room, water problems, etc. Point is, this school scams you with bogus standards and does not care about well performing students and only about athletes and Greek life. EDIT: university is currently financially imploding and apparently has been since at least 2021. They just fired over 40 professors with more rumored of being fired. Yeah don’t send your kids here…

Rob Young Went to the Dolphins Baseball (JU) game. Had a great time. Everyone was friendly, and prices were reasonable. Will be going more.

Katana Atakka I love this school, but please please consider getting the cafeteria up and running again! Not everyone has access to transportation or resources to go off campus for meals throughout the day, and it is extremely hard to focus in class when you are hungry!! It is my second semester at this school and i have yet to see food be served in the cafeteria. This would benefit all students, and it would benefit the HOPE food pantry too by not making it the only option for food on campus, therefore saving more resources for those who really need them!

Magical Memories Entertainment We had such a great time working with Florida State College at Jacksonville! The team there was super welcoming and organized, which made setting up and running everything a breeze. You can tell right away they really care about making events successful and fun for everyone involved. Our team from Magical Memories Entertainment brought out a bunch of entertainment for their event ranging from a Walk-Around Juggler and Stilt Walker, to a Henna Artist, Balloon Twister, and Face Painter. It was a big day with a lot going on, but everything flowed without a hitch. What really stood out was how helpful and friendly the staff was; they were there if we needed anything and made sure everything stayed on track. That kind of support really helps us do what we do best and make sure everyone has a blast. Big thanks to everyone at FSCJ South Campus! They are amazing to work with. Looking forward to working with you again soon.

Zak Octavian special things to Faith in the library tutoring, also Micheal thank you for the second round of mathematical knowledge and arithmetic reasoning, Such great Support!! Faith did an awesome job tutoring me on my arithmetic knowledge and also mathematical knowledge. It has been far too long since I’ve been in the classroom. They were able to translate the information very easily and proficiently. I feel like I’m in great hands with FSCJ South campus thank you so much.

Ms. Erika Griffin My program chair Darlene Harris at Jersey College in Jacksonville is awesome. She is caring, knowledgeable and professional and willing to assist with anything. To be honest all the program chairs are great (Davie/Dozier). I would recommend anyone one wanting to enter the nursing field to doing it at Jersey College. The administration and teachers are great as well (Davis, Jackie, Baker Admin team) (Dr. Fierce, Askew, Bowers Teachers). .

Miya Swan If I could leave any review.. it would be racist campus. Horrible dean. Money scam. Charges you for items you never received! You fail ONE class and can not move on until that class is finished. Won’t work with medical leaves and will force you to restart program. Had a class without a professor due to being fired/quitting and they still expected you to pass without assistance!! This school PROMOTES friendship and IGNORES bullying amongst other students. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Not to mention, they DELETE bad reviews!!!!

Gi’Ayni Johnson My experience with Jersey College has been challenging!! But so rewarding and I am filled with so much pride and accomplishment. The instructors are kind and supportive. They truly try to meet you where you are and help you succeed; they WANT you to succeed. With that being said, you have to be willing to put forth the effort! They will not help someone who doesnt help themselves. This is not a place for slackers or procrastinators! Jersey College School of Nursing isnt some "easy" write off school you can slide past to get to the NCLEX. You will drown in the work, you will have to make sacrifices, and afterwards you will be so thankful for it. When you make it out on the other side you will be so happy you chose this school. They educate subject matter thoroughly and emphasize the importance of patient centered care and safety throughout the program. You will be prepared for the NCLEX and you will feel prepared as a nurse. I genuinely believe well rounded nurses are formed here. I am so proud to say I graduated from Jersey College School of Nursing!!

Jessica Ferguson This school is literally a joke . I was going in for radiology tech program told I had to complete the entry test exam which I did the young man who works in admission was more beating around the bush not letting me know my test scores and more of flirting then handling business . They thought I was going to fall for the scam of doing another program I didn’t want to do and have a higher debt for students loans ! Gladly I am not a rookie with student loans and I know when someone is not being truthfully I would have been in debt for the rest of my life .im so happy I have knowledge to know !! Anyways I would not recommend only if you desperately need someone to go I still wouldn’t seem more like a scam and trying to sell them self .

Cerenity Kleinschmidt As a mother of three, it was a difficult decision for me to go back to school; however, I did it! If it werent for the amazing staff, I wouldnt be able to say that I am graduating in three months. The support from this school has been absolutely incredible. I will especially miss seeing Rickie, the director of admissions, and his friendly smile every time I go to get my books. Thank you to this university for everything you have helped me accomplish—more than I ever expected! The Jacksonville campus is lovely to visit, and I am grateful for the experience. My family is proud!

Joseph Duvall Former student here: I graduated in November of 2024 with my BA. I chose this university because I liked their "one class a month" schedule and it worked well with my full time job. My experience at this institution was so so. I was all online for my 4 years and had some great professors and some not so great ones (youll get that at any school). As for the staff, the reviews before me are true. They pass you around from faculty member to faculty member and it seems as if no one knows their true role. One person will answer a question you have and youll be told its not true a week later by another. As for the price, very expensive and the financial department seems a bit shady. I was charged for books I never bought (bought all mine used through amazon or vitalsource). If you ask me it (financial) seems disorganized and dishonest. These two stars do not reflect the professors or material learned, they are based on the universities policies, staff, help I received, communication and attitudes from the people working outside the classroom at this institution.

June Dupree Deerwood, FSCJs best kept secret! I absolutely love this campus! It is a concerted shopping mall, so a excellent reuse of a otherwise completely wasted building. This appeals to my love of recycling right off the bat. The whole facility is modern and clean. By far the nicest campus in my honest opinion. It is easy to get to right on Southside near Butler Boulevard and has ample parking. Also the classrooms are clean with comfortable seating. I love the indoor plants and trees which make the air always feel fresh in the building. Being once a shopping mall the building has excellent climate control which some of the buildings at other campuses lack. Also the a good many of the processors seem to really care about the students.

Mehmet KARA Terrible wait times for student success center . Definitely need improvement There are 30 people on the queue but only a few persons waiting in the lobby , no one calling any name , just keep waiting, something wrong with this place , workers just sitting on their desk , doing something other than solve student’s problems.

Alejandra Arrazcaeta The service and schedules for the ESOL program are really bad, they have schedules that are incompatible with the schedules of a working person. It was impossible for me to enroll, because they never sent me the student identification number, and when I went to the office for help they told me that I could only request it by phone, after waiting hours it was on the phone for someone to assist me on Spanish and get the number I went to the office at 4:00 pm on a Thursday and they told me that the line was very long and that they couldnt help me. I explained that I had been the day before and he simply didnt care that I came back the next day. , I told him tomorrow is Friday to which he replied Im sorry so Monday, I responded Monday I have to work and he just said Im sorry. Finally, I told him that the service at this college is terrible, to which he only answered ok. I really decided not to enroll and although the price is much higher, I enrolled at UNF where they make everything much easier for you and the attention is unmatched. I REALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! and I rate it with one star because otherwise it wont let me publish my comment otherwise I wouldnt give it a single star.

Denisse Garrido I went in for a facial with Samantha Piccirillo, and had such an amazing and relaxing experience. She provided a lot of information regarding my skin type, what I was lacking and a plan for getting my skin to it’s optimal state. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. I look forward to getting my facials with her regularly!

Kelly Villavicencio Do not go to this campus to take the Facial Specialty course instructed by Ms. Duncan. In 2013 I attended FSCJ (South and Deerwood Campus) where I received my Bachelors Degree and had an incredible experience. I had the exact opposite experience this time around. She HATES answering any questions you may have and will respond with “you should already know that”. Instead of instructing you and giving you helpful tips on your facial technique she walks around the classroom and makes comments like “if I was your client I wouldn’t tip you”. Unclear grading scale. She definitely picks and chooses her favorites and will let it be known. A student in my class had an allergic reaction to a mask applied on her face and when she came up to Ms. Duncan to let her know, Ms. Duncan told the student she was overreacting and to get out of her office. This instructor has made multiple students cry before, during and after class. Students that PAY MONEY to be here and get a quality education. Don’t bother trying to report this instructor. Nothing will get done. Various students have spoken up and still no change. A new semester just started and a current student already drives to class in tears and dreading the day because of Ms. Duncan. If you’re seriously interested in the facial speciality program I suggest going to Kent Campus instead.

Carrie Baker I am a door dasher and I was dashing to Subway took me over 15 minutes to figure out how to get there with all the construction that you have. You may want to turn off your door dashing. Abilities until your construction is over, so customers. Dont miss out when dashers. Decide not to finish the order.

Bonnie Brantley I’ve utilized some of their free classes and they’re always timely and informative.

Piggie Bonita The worst school I have ever attended. The enrollment process was horrible. No one knows the correct information. No one helps you. You are on your own ever step of the way. Took me a whole year to enroll. A lot of unnecessary back and forth. Not to mention most of the professors are horrible as well and don’t teach at all. They just click buttons. I wish I listened when someone told me not to go here.

Marc Kevin I took my admissions test here recently. The staff were not very friendly. Specifically the bald old man with glasses. There’s already enough pressure going back to school. I shouldn’t have to deal with people that are clearly unhappy with their life.

Sydney Stelly Pretty campus but staff was lowkey rude

Jennifer King Dropping my son off to college. EVERYONE HERE has been SOOOOO hospitable. It seems like home other than the dorm thats prison style.

Blucsu Wow, what can I say? This school is incredible! Ive had so many great moments at Edub that I will cherish for life. If youre looking for a great education and an amazing time, come here!

Yurizan I have been in this hospital for seven days with my mother who has pneumonia. The tension with the nurses and doctors has been very good and efficient, but the Hospital administration keeps the hospital with very hot air and no type of ventilation enters the room. There is no fresh air, it is like being in a caldera. It is incredible that they have no regard for human beings.

Rick Oneal Awesome experience! Friendly staff, everyone seems to love their job. Shelia Work is an angel on earth. Went yesterday for my 1st covid shot and was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minutes you have to wait afterwards

Ira Eick We went to receive our first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. It was by appointment only and very well organized with clear directions and many people standing by to provide directions and assistance where needed. Everything went smoothly and we were in and out quickly. So far, so good.

Kayla Pafford Like all the other reviews say, do yourself a favor and don’t go here. I spent $700 per credit hour to be talked down to by professors and deans alike. You are just a paycheck to every staff member. The price estimation when I applied was grossly underestimated, many financial programs wouldn’t help since it’s a for-profit school. There are so many issues beyond financial. One student was rushed to the emergency room for a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and was STILL attending lectures from the hospital room for Stigler’s pharmacology class Professor Stigler and Holloway are the reason I completely left the medical field. Holloway is belittling and passive, as well as Stigler. Please be warned and don’t make the worst mistake of your life like I did

an di Warning‼️ Do not attend this school. You will regret it if you do. The school is extremely expensive but has a lot of issues. You can check out the facebook group for further information. You will pay more than other schools and will have to help them improve their program. How? You will have to report the wrong information on edaps if you want to get the grade you deserve, and will not get paid for it. If you do not turn certain papers in before the end of the week, you can fail the class. They seem to have no mercy on the students. Tjey make a lot of mistakes but when it comes to the students, they cant. The professors are sometimes confused about the information or what we should do to pass check off. The advisor will tell you the reviews online are due to students not wanting to do the work but that is not true. I also heard they would tell you its ok to get a C in micro as long as you do well enough on the HESI but later on tell you that you must take it. The instructors do not lecture as other do in other schools. They seem to get of track often and tell us stories we do not care about. Trust me, you dont want to enroll at any Chamberlain College, you will regret it. The school is mediocre but dont take my word for it. Go on Facebook and see how they fail students easily and make their lives a living nightmare.

patiencemaneh Maneh This school will take your money and fail you if the professor doesnt like you. They are racist, especially on the Atlanta campus. I failed Health assessment 1 in January and retook it in May; for in class, I scored 88%, and the Professor did fail me for checkoff. We were five students that were unsatisfactory. They called four students in and passed them, and they failed and dismissed me. During the checkoff, I only missed the duration in section A. Lab carries 0 credit, and I was dismissed because of that, all because, I am an African.

Radovan Vitosevic I was looking for a Doctor of Business and Administration (DBA) program that would enable me to combine my studies while staying with my current job. Key West University of Florida has allowed me exactly that, to work remotely in my doctorate program while fulfilling my full-time job obligations. I particularly liked the possibility of studying online at a U.S.-based institution and learning from some of the best professionals in the field. I am very satisfied with how contemporary and relevant the program is. Thus, the staff is lovely and supportive, while the professors show outstanding mentorship, which helped me complete my doctorate.

Kristina Novoselova Very professional instructors and well-structured courses. There were times when I was struggling with courses, but the professors encouraged me not to give up and keep studying. I feel grateful to the university and the stuff for my MBA degree at KWU! It helped me in life and my career. Thank you, KWU!

Ama Dennis Key West University is the place to be. The lecturers are friendly, and they support you toward achieving academic goals. Additionally, the courses are practical. As a professional in the banking industry, I always questioned myself on how to develop strategies for reducing unemployment rates in Africa and Ghana to be specific. Keeping in mind SDG Goal 8, decent work and economic growth, I kept looking for a School to equip me to be able to consult for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are the engine of economic growth in South Sahara Africa. Key West University enabled me to work for the past 3 and a half years to support the family and at the same time equipped me with the knowledge and skills to achieve my dream of a Doctor in Business Administration. Friendly and experienced faculty, well-resourced online Library, current articles, and flexible study time make the study period worth our while. Thank you to the Team

bryan whetstone My wife attends here. very reasonable price for a BA

James Buckner I am a professor here. This college provides a great learning experience on a beautiful campus.

Travis George I was attending Trinity Baptist for grad school. It is a nice campus even though some parts were closed due to the quarantine. Dr. Messer was teaching Contemporary Preaching.

Dunkin I attended CDL school at this campus from February 2024 to April 2024. Since graduating it has been hard finding a job and this school is not accredited with certain jobs unlike Road Master and Jtech they will hired them before a student from FSCJ. Although my experience was okay here and my instructor Jimmy was awesome. I suggest during your research before attending this school.

Raechel W FSCJ is a great school and this campus is wonderful. I saw that theres a few bad reviews on here, but none of them have anything to do with this campus. Yes, cellphone signal can be weak. So what! And no, theres no advisors, but this campus functions differently than the others. The CDL program here is wonderful. All the instructors put in 100% every day and they want to see everyone successful in the end.

James Ellis It took a while for me to write this review, but I want to say I had a terrible time at this CDL school. Most of the instructors there were very rude and obnoxious. The instructor John is a horrible individual. When I first got in the truck he was upset and yelling because I didn’t know how to stick shift or where the gears were.... I DIDN’T KNOW! I never even drove a stick shift vehicle... that’s why I’m in school to learn something I know nothing about... I can go on and on about the experience I had with the instructors John, Lenny, and Tony, which his real name is Anthony... their patience was very short while trying to learn which made the process more difficult when someone is already having a hard time... I’m surprised there is not more reviews on here like this... I just felt like the ones who were really struggling they gave up on and to me I didn’t really talk to the director there about this because from my observance I feel like he was buddy buddy with them, so I just tried my best to stay away from saying anything due to retaliation... I do not recommend this school and I feel the instructors need a course on how to explain things for people to understand, also a course on patience because if you’re teaching you need to have a lot of patience. MONEY WAISTED.
