For a community college, Jones is pretty good from my experience. What I like about Jones is that there is always something going on on campus for students to attend to. Their athletics and clubs are full of talented students who are passionate about what they do. Their college band, the Typhoon, is amazing and I always look forward for their performances.

Student

Jones is an amazing Junior College as it is connected to many other colleges in the area and will help students fulfil a four year degree following their two years at jones to the best of their ability.

Student

I am just starting my freshman year at Jones County Junior College. I have 100% online classes. As a beginner, I do not have much knowledge on JCJC.

Student

Overall it was a really good experience. The campus was nice and not so big that you couldn't easily walk around to all your classes. Also, I had some nice and amazing professors, and I truly felt I learned what was taught. Personally to me, most of my classes were not too easy or too hard, and sat in that golden middle ground.

Student

My time at Jones was filled with ups and downs but it made me a better individual overall. I’ve met so many different people along with the teachers that have help me push through even the most difficult times.
