The Admissions staff were all wonderful (thanks, Allison O!) and made us feel as parents that we were sending our child to the best school on the planet. Our recruitment and selection process was easy, and meeting faculty and staff just cemented our decision. Now it's up to our child to soar- this really is the friendliest campus not just in the south, but the world!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-89380369650655826592009-12-26T06:26:41.370-06:002009-12-26T06:26:41.370-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-85200106021452003922009-09-06T00:35:04.882-05:002009-09-06T00:35:04.882-05:00Hi Amy, Thanks so much for your comments about JSU...Hi Amy, Thanks so much for your comments about JSU and especially your mention of the Marching Southerners. My son attends JSU and plays in the band. You might find it interesting to know that one knowledgeable marching band fan put together a well-done list of the top 8 marching bands in the country. JSU made the list. They were the only AL band to be included. There only other southern bands included were one from VA and the Univ. of GA. <br />Thanks again.<br />CathyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675727462390291740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-4802813983320724332009-09-01T13:42:46.536-05:002009-09-01T13:42:46.536-05:00Amy, What a great profile of JSU!

I'm a JSU alum as are my Mom, Dad, husband, one sister, and one brother-in-law. My Dad is a professor at JSU. This university has been a major part of my life for 20+ years. We even had our wedding reception at the Alumni House! Thanks for sharing your photos and love for JSU with the other AL Bloggers.<br />--JennieJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766135139829650485noreply@blogger.com
