If you value basic amenities as an undergrad living on campus, DO NOT GO HERE. Freshmen and anyone who is forced to live on campus are treated like cattle that they have to take care of. Bathrooms are very dirty, toilet paper is a commodity, and any department you try to contact treats you like an annoyance. The internet is god awful beyond reason, i.e. you can't access youtube, play any games or download any music on campus internet. Classes are nice, but the university is just horrible until you get off campus.

I made a horrible decision choosing a school in the middle of no where Virginia. The school looks like a trailer park with a highway running through the middle of the campus.

Average
JMU is a nice school if you are from a small town or came here with friends. I am an out of state student and everyone already had their group of friends on the first day. You will also be very bored if you grew up by a city or a populated suburb, as there is nothing around here. There is no town or clubs to hang out around. If you can go to house parties everyday for the rest of your college career, then this school has the social life for you. That being said, JMU has good academics and i have found my classes to be interesting for the most part. The majority of my teachers were helpful and friendly. The students are also very nice for the most part, but yes its true there are definately more girls than guys at this school. Overall a decent school if the surrounding area and atmosphere here are something you can deal with.
Campus Aesthetics: A, Surrounding City: F
