What Current Students Say See All 11 Comments >

Being a smaller type of university, John Carroll's program provides more attention to students who need it because classes are more condensed, and help is assessed more efficiently to those who seek it. Also, the core classes that JCU makes mandatory for all students helps mold students into more well rounded individuals in an array of topics, and most schools don't emphasis that enough.
