James Madison University Top Questions

No

There are those sorority girls who seem like cookie cutter copies of each other, but the student body is really pretty diverse in terms of ideas and world views. The party school reputation is probably well deserved, but from what I see its not all that much worse here than any other state school in terms of drinking.

This stereotype is have true. Our minority population is small, but JMU is working on increasing it everyday. Everyone fits it somewhere.

The school is a very big party school. Unless mommy and daddy float you lots of money, have fun trying to find things to do that are cheap and do not involve drinking. As for the "hot" girls, it depends what you classify as hot. If you like girls that gob on make-up and fake-bake then yes, this is the place for you. Also the lack of non-monagamous relationships is pretty high, and loose morals are rampant

The stereotypes are fairly accurate, but there really is no 'typical' JMU student. While it can seem that the students blend together, each has their own story that makes them unique. We are an extremely active campus and we reach out for many causes. We work to expand the JMU-bubble that has been created in the past. We take service trips, welcome the community, and try to make a difference. JMU may be a party school, but it still has a conscious. We take our parties seriously, but not as much as the rest of our lives.

See above.

We may have parties almost daily but that doesnt mean we go out that much. Some do but it catches up to them.

The stereotype is accurate, but there is so much more to the school than anyone can give in a single statement. To answer the question: James Madison throws way better parties than any other school in Virginia, and the school is somewhere near seventy percent hot females.

1) Is fairly accurate, but I wouldn't classify it as being much more of a party school than most other colleges. Sure, we pride ourself in our partying but most colleges have their parties as well. 2) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and from what I've heard, most guys see beauty in JMU girls. 3) We are not a very racially diverse campus, but there are initiatives at work to branch out and try to make the student body more diverse.

1. You will find pareties at any college. Yes, JMU is notorious for thier "block parties" but every school has their "legendary" party spot at a specific time of the year. A lot of students go out, but most will find that parties are filled with more Freshman. Genearlly upper classman can be spotted at Highlawn or the Pub. 2. Lets be honest there is a lot of pretty girls on campus. Guys, the odds are in your favor.
