The JU Student Experience

You and JU: Love the Student Life

What's going on beyond the books at JU? Plenty! At JU you'll find a friendly, fun atmosphere surrounding a vibrant, energetic student life.

The JU Community

Our campus community is so tight-knit that Florida Leader magazine ranked us third among all private institutions in the state for "positive student life experience."

Why get involved? Well, it's fun. Plus you'll make friends, gain leadership and teamwork skills, build your résumé, and network with faculty and staff—all while energizing your school spirit!

We've got so much going on, you're bound to find the perfect thing for you.

When you're a full-fledged ̽»¨×å Dolphin, you'll want to make the most of it. We make it easy by offering so many things to do on campus:

  • Dance and theatre performances

Not to mention Homecoming in the fall and Fin Fest in the spring—both epic! The best part is we make it super easy to sign up for campus events.

Go Greek

JU is home to a jumping Greek life, with chapters of five fraternities and seven sororities. By going Greek you'll have a built-in support group, take a leadership role on campus and give back through community service. Plus, Greek Week in the spring is a major campus highlight.
