Jimmie Voices
“I am so fortunate God gave me the opportunity to play golf, sing in the choir, stay close to my friends and family, and experience a welcoming small campus with lifelong friends.”
“I have had a child at University of Jamestown since 2012. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
"The ability to stop by your professor’s office to talk about schoolwork or personal endeavors is something you don’t hear from a lot of schools, so I am very grateful I had the chance of learning from the people I did."
“The culture and work ethic of our campus goes beyond University of Jamestown and into the community.”
“Coming to Jamestown was one of the best decisions of my life.”
"The private school price tag can scare some people. But people also need to understand there’s lots of opportunities, and University of Jamestown gives great scholarships."
