One of the stand out things for me at JMC was that I felt as though everyone was on the same wavelength in a way. We all had similar passions and I made a lot of friends at JMC that I still see and keep in contact with... As soon as I stepped inside JMC I knew it was the place for me too. I could tell it was full of creatives and everyone was there to express themselves
