Jackson State University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about Jackson State is, personally, I think it needs some updating. The website is hard to navigate and doesn't go into a well enough description of the majors offered. At transfer orientation, I did not like how they had already made up our schedules, nor did they inform us when and where to get our IDs made. Some of the adminorstrators, financial aid advisors, etc., tend to have bad attitudes.

The most frustrating thing about Jackson State University is the fact that some of the staff members seem to not care about the students. I feel as if they work for the school and must interact with students, they could at least seem to care about how the students feel. If the staff would put themselves in the place of the students, they would probably treat the students a little better than they do.

I feel that the university needed more parking.

The most fustrating thing about Jackson State University is the finiancial aid part. Majority of the students have major problems with getting their funding right, and often many people are mis lead. In the financial aid some may b e told one thing and they end up having to owe more than 1,000 dollars to the schoool because the funding was not enough. Then the students get discouraged and want to drop out because they can not afford the schooling.

The most frustrating thing would be cost of attendance, howevr that is a national, so i guess I'd say people doing things at the last minute, faculty, staff, students. Things are not done in a timely manner.

I have to say the financial aid office waits and the admissions and class departments. Those are the most important buildings, but they are very small and not enough advisors to see over 15,000 students. I believe those buildings can be more expanded so we can fit.

I'm always financially unstable. I never have enough financial aide to get me through the school year and it's a constant struggle trying to find extra cash to help with my fee's. I currently don't have enough money for this school year.

Staff & administration act like they hate to help you.

THE LONG LINES IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICE BUILDING.

I think that the most frustrating thing about Jackson State is financial aid/financial services. Sometimes, they get your aid wrong or mess up your student account, which takes a while to correct. Also, sometimes you have to go to another financial aid counselor (other than your assigned one) just to get help obtaining money for school. One time, I was trying to get money for summer school & my counselor told me there was nothing she could do; the second one helped me get $5000.
