James Madison University Top Questions

JMU is friendly towards pretty much everyone, so I guess the only people who shouldn't attend are those who aren't ready to be nice :)

Someone who doesn't want to feel lost in a big crowd and who doesn't like to drink and party.

Its located in a smaller town, but right next to the highway so places are easily accessed with a car. Some of the Gen ed classes are quite large but the majority of the specialized ones are medium to small sized classes. The teachers are generally very available and accomodating and seem to want to do anything they can to get their students to succeed. We work hard and we play hard, and I think that balance is key.

Anyone that likes to go home on the weekends and is secluded and doesnt like to go out and meet people.

You shouldn't attend JMU if you are used to a big city and lots of action. JMU is nestled in a small agricultural community, so it doesn't appeal to all. Also, if school spirit doesn't mean anything to you, then JMU definitely isn't your school.

non social students

Minorities and people who don't have a lot of money.
