Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Education  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright JMU is a really beautiful place, the food is incredible, and the general spirit is nice- the average JMU student is helpful,considerate, fun, and independent. Unfortunately, the average student is also a little bit dumb. The University forces a few too many easy and unnecessary general education classes on students, ESPECIALLY in my department. In general though, I really like it here. There are a thousand opportunities to get involved and make friends, and everyone is really spirited; that makes football games fun despite the crappy stadium and semi-crappy team. Let's not forget that we have the most AMAZING marching band on the East Coast! That alone makes games worthwhile. One other plus is that, though freshman general ed classes may be boring sometimes, they are really small for a university of this size. Freshman at UVa, Tech, and other such colleges sit in classes of 300, 400, even 700 people. As a first semester freshman, my biggest class is 40! I would recommend JMU to most anyone, except for the extremely intelligent who may be bored. I find myself bored right now, but I am loading up on classes and activities next semester to lessen that.

I just personally hate it here, if it weren't for the campus and the one other normal person here, i would not have stayed. Girls are abundant and guys are limited. I dont have any guy friends and that is really have for me because its all i had at home. If you are coming from out of state like i am, then you will be alone. Everyone is from VA and everyone knows someone. I came here from MA and that was dumb. The social life is crazy if you get into it, i didn't. Even with clubs, activities, parties and what not i did not make friends. So if you are a little bit different by being artistic, or really into your music, don't worry about your appearance half as much as these girls then don't do this to yourself. If you are tan, blond, into sports, preppy, and cliquey then this is the school for you. It's a good amount of work and the school is only going to get harder to get into, but as for now it's a joke.
