Recently, JMU has been known for the success of our varsity football team. Our Business program is ranked throughout the nation. The campus is beautiful with plenty of new buildings on the way including dorms, foot courts, and a stadium. Aside from that, JMU is known for being a "party" school but with upstanding academic students who are involved in plenty of charitable causes, that shouldn't be a focus.

JMU is best known for its outstanding school spirit and friendlyness. We are always wearing school paraphernalia, and we love to talk to and hang out with prospective students who want to join us at this school. We show huge school spirit at our sports games, where it is a sea of purple of gold. JMU is also known for its academics- they are not too tough but are by no means easy. Our academics prepare us for a successful life after college.
