Katelyn - 08/28/2024

Jones is one of the top Mississippi community colleges. The professors are very educated, knowledgable, and they push you to succeed. The staff and my classmates were all extremely supportive. I do wish there was a wider variety of club options, but they do have a large and involved PTK club. Overall, it is a perfect school to begin your undergrad journey.

Delsie - 11/11/2023

This school is amazing, and it is a great transition from High School to a University. The classroom ratio is great for someone who went to a small school and is nervous to go to a larger University. The people are so kind and the staff never fails to be there for you when you need help with anything.

NyAsia - 07/14/2023

My opinion on Jones County Junior College is that the campus is very beautiful. The staff are very friendly and if you have any questions, they are sure to help in any way they can. The students are very smart and productive. The campus has many food resources all over the campus.

Maleah - 05/29/2021

JCJC is a wonderful place to get started in higher education. It is a smaller campus with individual attention available if you need it. The friends you can make here will be friends for life, and I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a great place to call home.
