JSU campus
The city campus of JSU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Jackson has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Not only locals study at JSU, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
To stay in the country for another year after graduation, you need to renew your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
