Everyone holds the door open, and everyone says "Thanks". Its simple, but it says a lot. Students care about other students. We are courteous, helpful, and energetic. Students are welcoming, they greet others with smiles. Wheatear they are holding the door for you as you a running into a building late for class, or casually walking across the quad on a sunny. The quad is another well know area of JMU. There are beautiful brickstone buildings that surround a lawn that, if it?s sunny, will be filled with students reading, tossing a football, or gathering to chat in groups.

James Madison is usually best known for being a strong academic institution. Recently, however, that has begun to change. As the culture of drinking grows on and off campus, JMU is quickly being known most notably as a party school. As more students come to the university because of its drinking reputation, the more the drinking culture spreads throughout the JMU community.

Southern Connecticut State University is one of the four state universities in Connecticut. Southern was founded as a teachers college, which was one of the draws for me. Today, many students at Southern concentrate in education and teaching, but there are numerous other programs that are now offered as well (116 graduate and undergraduate programs offered). Southern is also known for its ability to accommodate a wide-range of student scheduling needs, with its part-time/full-time, day/evening courses, and summer course offerings to name a few.
