James Madison University Top Questions

its mountainous

JMU is such a friendly and warm-welcoming campus. Students are always willing to help other students find their way around, especially at the beginning of the year with freshmen. JMU students want incoming students to feel like part of the JMU community and offer numerous activities to make the campus very active and fun. There is always something to do on campus!

Social Life

This school has more of a liberal arts program than the other art schools I applied to. The tuition is also less expensive. I received a small scholarship for legacy at JMU my freshman year.

We're very school spirited.

JMU is unique in its sense of community and the friendly atmosphere between students on and off campus. Everyone is a friend here, especially on the weekends...haha

James Madison University is so full of spirit we literally bleed purple and gold! Everyone is genuinely friendly and will go out of their way to do something nice, like hold open the door when you are 50 ft away. Professors want to get to know you personally and want you to succeed. There is no reason to be bored here on campus because there are so many activites to get involved in. Also JMU is not a clicky school; we're very open and have a worldy view. JMU is a great place to learn, grow, and achieve!

James Madison University is really a beautiful school. There's a lot of construction going on presently, but once all that is cleared out of the way, JMU will have a fusion classic-modern feel - although I feel that there will may a stagnant divide between the liberal arts side of campus (the classic side) and the science/mathematics side (the modern side). Also, the food is super awesome. : )

low greek population, great area, small physics/astronomy department size

The school spirit at my school is amazing and everyone is overly friendly. It is a community that you can't describe unless you are a part of it.
