I got to thinking back to my couple of years at Jacksonville State this morning when I was creating my Jacksonville, Alabama Real Estate page. I still lived with my parents at the time in Anniston which was about 30 miles from campus and believe it or not I still walked to class. Yep that's right I had to walk to class for about 3 weeks.
Well yes I did have to walk to class everyday but was not as bad as you might think, you see I was broke at the time and my alternator went out in my car, So every night I would put the battery on charge so that I could make it to my buddies apartment near campus, then I would charge the battery all day and drive home that night.
However I still had to walk to all my classes and for those of you that have never been to Jacksonville my classes were spread out so I still ended up walking on average about 17 miles per day, which may not seem like much to you but for a 6'3 240 lbs guy at the time it wasn't fun, especially when it decided to rain.
If your a young guy or girl and deciding were you might go to College my vote is Jacksonville State University I had a great time and I still have people I meet there that I call a friend and If you want a really good humbling experience park your car and walk to class.
So if you ever start looking for Jacksonville, Al Homes for sale be sure to give me a call, Just don't ask be to walk the campus. I may need the exercise but I wouldn't make it, Just say-in.
