School doesn't do great at community building. Not a strength. Worst part though is that the admin…read morepurposely puts students at a huge disadvantage in their futures at grad schools and careers by instituting a harsh grading scale usually only seen at Seminaries & grad schools. This seriously hurts undergrad GPAs and puts students at a huge disadvantage when they are put up against state schooled counterparts in the marketplace. Harsh grading doesn't make better academics or higher reputation.

As aforementioned, Union University is a school that thrives on social isolation. There's nothing…read morenear the area that's worth raving about, the locals are fairly stuck up, and you tend to feel incredibly isolated even while roaming around town. The students here love to preach about God but when the time actually comes to do good, they look away at every turn. Everyone here is fake and, if you aren't like everybody else, you will feel INCREDIBLY isolated. In fact, it's almost scary how cult-like it tends to be here; so, if you think you're not unique and have no defining qualities, then Union is perfect for you.

I graduated from USJ in 2015 and my experience at this school did an incredible job of preparing me…read moreto be successful in life. USJ is by far the elite school of Jackson and is not even comparable to any of the other private schools in the area. There is not a comp to USJ in Jackson or the surrounding counties. USJ is much more similar to ECS, St. George's and Briarcrest in Memphis as it is to TCA or JC or Madison Academic. The leadership of Don Roe at USJ is unmatched and if/when I have children, sending them to USJ will be the easiest decision of my life.

I was very impressed with this dog park, especially with it being pretty much the first official…read moredog park in Jackson. It is incredibly spacious and is all grass turf, which is great but as someone noted before does get muddy. There is parking nearby, a poop bag post, dog toys, a hose, small tub, and seats. It's in a nice part of downtown Jackson, right by Lift and some other shops. Also a random, but somewhat relevant, thing to note is that this is a dog park, not a playground. If you bring kids, they may get bored. But this park isn't technically for them anyway. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it was very muddy when we visited. I also hope they set up some obstacle courses or something to give pups some exercise and mental stimulation.

This is a gem of Jackson and the surrounding area. I have always felt safe at the park, and most…read moreeveryone is friendly. The one down side of the park is the ground cover, which we are working on improving. During rainy periods it does become muddy. Also note that we have no choice except to turn the water off during the winter. Please read, understand, and obey all rules posted at the entrance. Have a great time!

My problem is that we moved, and there isn't a way to cancel your membership on the app, and if you call to cancel, you end up with a third party call center that will not help you. I called on three different occasions, and every time I called they said the same thing. "I cannot cancel your membership, you will need to speak to my supervisor. Please hold while I transfer you". Next thing is your back at the main menu restarting the whole process. So! I cancel through my credit card company. 6 months after that, I am now receiving messages from a debt collector

Two of my older kids already graduated college and one is a military vet. My two remaining kids are completing high school, but have been doing subjects at college level. I thought this organization would be helpful for capturing records and credits. Instead, I was faced with a bizarre and traumatic examen, a vaguely hostile interrogation, demands for legal documents, an extremely toxic phone exchange, rejection of my three years' advanced kid unless I crammed him into an inappropriate grade level (a single grade level), an obvious effort to extend unhelpfulness and rigidity, contempt toward our proposed plan of studies, and a 'partial refund' after less than 24 hours of engaging this institution. I have not seen such ignorance about the issue of asynchronous development (our very motive for having homeschooled all along) since the late 90's. If your kid fits in their boxes, have at it. If not, I hope you enjoy subjecting yourself to this. If you do, you might enjoy things like struggling with IEP at your local public school. This is ostensibly a 'Christian ministry.' Ok.
