James Madison University Top Questions

I mean yes, our beer is free and we have great parties, but that isn't what JMU is all about. We are not very diverse according to race, but as a community of students we are diverse in our own ways.

no. every university has parties, and JMU has a great academic program

somewhat

They are overly generalized to be accurate

- I think the party school rep it not as big as people think. There's so much else to do and it's easy to stay away from the parties -JMU students are hardworking. There's always people studying in the library and on the quad..even on saturdays -Everyon

-we don't all have STD's, most of us don't -any school is a party school, our parties are just better :) but there are plenty of things to do if you don't drink -the highway has zero effects on my life -we don't

some, it is somewhat of a party school, there are a lot of girls, most parties do not charge you for beer, we are very spirited, there are lots of preppy girls, we do not have the highest STD rate

I know a lot of people who do not own a single item of North Face, I also know girls who don't wear Uggs, don't go tanning, and don't own Vera Bradley. However, a large majority of the population does. JMU students know how to party, however, we also know how to study, make the grades, and we're here because we were chosen because of our academics.

I personally believe that stereotype that both of the stereotypes I mentioned are false. JMU students are diverse in a number of ways - ethnically/culturally and different interests/hobbies. While JMU and most college campuses have parties on the weekends, there's always something to do that doesn't involve drinking. For instance, the movie theater on campus has shows on weekend nights, and usually there's a club or organization having an event, so there's definitely more to do than just party.
