JMU has become overrunBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
JMU has become overrun by students rejected by the Ivy's. Drinking is the only social outlet and that's become a real problem. The town is a dump, so no social life to be found there. Ultra-right religious groups run the place.

Question
I didn't want to go to JMU either,Art & Design Department
I didn't want to go to JMU either, but sometimes crap just happens. The admissions office women were straight up b*#ches to me (like i was supposed to know exactly what i was doing). My advisor screwed me over so bad that i had to stay an extra year, and she could care less about me..so that made me feel warm and fuzzy all over. Lots of skanks and snobs. I did love a lot of the professors and art classes, but some were so aloof they acted like they didn't give a shit. the town does suck. and last year there were riots at the school. so go to JMU (not!)

Question
JMU is a third tier university.Quite BrightEnglish
JMU is a third tier university. Most students are here because they didn't get into the better Virginia schools. Academically, the school has so many teachers who cannot speak English that it makes learning difficult at best. Having a major highway running through the middle of the campus doesn't help the aesthetics either.
