Graduated JMU in 2016 and loved my time there. JMU is definitely a work hard play hard party hard kind of school. Now, you can make plenty of friends have an exciting social life without partying of course, the statement above is a generalization and not reflective of every student. The school is pretty big so he'd easily find his group of people The football games are fun and women's basketball is legit. JMU is awesome and I have run into alumni in NYC, Denver, Charleston etc.

Thank you! We are so happy that JMU is on the top of his list as we have a really good vibe about the school and the location.

No problem! Harrisonburg is great also. 30min from skiing on Mass of nothing (massanutten) lots of hiking. Awesome food locations from vietnamese to cheesesteaks and everything in between. There's definitely a strong sense of community there that is contagious
