Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Accounting  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I came to JMU to study accounting and was disappointed to find that I had to first take a long series of general education courses that had little academic value but cost time and money. I am going into my second year this fall and I am questioning whether or not to transfer to focus on my core major - accounting. The accounting program also has limited co-op/internship slots available and will require that I spend a semester away from JMU to complete it. Otherwise its okay - the campus is nice (bluestone area) other parts are ok. There are a lot of parties - but mostly the social life is focused on people getting hammered and running around. Football is fun - basketball is not - they always lose (except the women's program). If you are coming to college to socialize - JMU is great - if a little pricey for what you get. If you want to focus on studying and achieving your career objectives - you might want to look elsewhere. Perceived Campus Safety: A-, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?

Don't be afraid to venture out past Harrisonburg. Check out Natural Bridge, various local hiking/recreation areas, numerous national parks, and much more all within an hour of campus. Make sure you find out how to get to Blue Hole! Parking can be tough (especially with parking tickets), but you can easily avoid all the headaches by taking the bus to class. The bus is a quick, easy, and free way to get from your off-campus apartments to campus, and it usually drops you off right in front of your building. Finally, be active. JMU has a wealth of clubs that will give you opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have. For instance, I didn't find out about the Caving Club until after I graduated. It sounds like it could be pretty cool. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Innovation: B- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
