Jacksonville University
Education & Daycare · Arlington
Jacksonville University is the private river campus in Arlington at 2800 University Boulevard North. Google’s operational university listing matches that address and phone (904) 256-8000, with a stored snapshot of 4.2 from 242 reviews — one review off the older 243-count card, same score. Stay Safe Jax treats that as the same campus pin, not a failed match. This page is not the University of North Florida on UNF Drive and not Florida State College at Jacksonville downtown.
A 4.2 from a few hundred Google reviews is a mixed-positive campus score. Visitors talk about the St. Johns River setting, parking, and student services the way they do at many small private universities. Those numbers are a stored Places snapshot, not a live poll and not a U.S. News rank. No Yelp card is stored.
Google’s hours snapshot for the Places pin is Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday closed. That reads as administration hours, not a lock on evening classes, athletics, or residence halls. Google marks wheelchair parking and a wheelchair entrance; it does not confirm a wheelchair restroom. Stay Safe Jax did not audit every building on the peninsula campus.
Recent public reporting is about growth, not a warning. The Florida Times-Union wrote on July 17, 2026, that Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine opened a four-year medical school campus at JU, with an inaugural class of about 75 students and a ribbon-cutting that day. School officials told the paper many first-year students were Floridians and that the medical building sits at 5415 Dolphin Point Boulevard near the north end of campus. News4JAX’s August 27, 2025, feature described rising aviation enrollment toward about 350 students and a larger nursing pipeline. A JU law-school release said the College of Law’s Class of 2029 opened with 110 students, its largest first-year group. The Jacksonville Business Journal also logged fall 2026 private-college enrollment trends for JU and Edward Waters.
There is no current sourced lawsuit or safety investigation attached to this page. Open flags stay at 0. Families comparing Jacksonville higher education should use this listing for the Arlington JU campus: private university, stored Google 4.2, weekday office hours, and 2026 medical-school news. Dolphin Point medical buildings are part of JU’s north campus story, not a separate Stay Safe Jax slug.
