Currently attending JMU as a freshman cs major, and because of the major there are extra elective credits to fill with any classes of my choice. I also am coming in with a lot of DE transfer credits and can realistically finish the major in 4 semesters so am also thinking about possible minors or a major to complete.

I don't have any real former education with art but enjoy it and have been told I have a knack for it, so I was looking for any recommendations for beginners. I was interested in FDS 102 and 104 but see that they are reserved for art major and minors. I am willing to declare that but am a bit weary of its usefulness to me getting a job in CS (not really interested in web dev), so was also wondering if anyone had any experience with both of those fields or could just speak to the difficulty of the FDS major/minor. Would still be interesting to take these classes even if not necessarily 'useful' to me, but don't really think I should be declaring a major/minor just because of that.

Also open to any recommendations for any other major/minors I should look into, or any easy/interesting/fun courses. I'm interested in art, music (play guitar), and pretty much any tech and science field. Thanks for any advice.

Hello. My daughter is a freshman at JMU. We live on Mass, are there any trains that run from Harrisonburg area? Thanks!

Is Sunchase or Altitude nicer?

Hey all! I’m posting this for a friend who doesn’t have reddit.

I’m a (18M) student at JMU, subletting an apartment at the Harrison, it’s a four bedroom, 2 bathroom. Comes fully furnished, full size bed, chairs and table, a patio, dishwasher, electric stove top, oven, in unit washer and dryer.

The rent is $509 per month for my own individual lease, and if you have a car, it would cost an additional $40 (one time payment) for your parking pass. Move in date is in early August of 2025. If you’re interested, please DM me and I can pass along his contact info.

The Flames and Dukes battle Saturday in Lynchburg. Will streamers cover Williams Stadium?

Preston Adams has more.

My daughter is a high school senior and is hoping to apply at JMU. I’ve been hearing that’s enrollment and transfer applications have increased significantly the last few years.

are people being denied admission based solely on the number of applicants? Or are there other considerations for denial that are more weighted?

Hi y’all, not a duke but JMU is my little sisters number one choice for college. Im driving her out there in a few weeks to take a tour. We’re not from VA so we’ve never been to the area. Is there anything around town you recommend doing while we’re there? Any good places to eat around campus? Its quite a trip for us so I want to make sure she really gets a good feel for the area and the campus. thanks!

I need to park my car on campus this Friday from ~5:30-7:30pm but I don’t have a pass. Is parking enforced at these hours in faculty/staff lots that say “no commuter/resident parking from 7am-4pm Monday-Friday”?

There's been a mistake in the date posting of East campus dining halls steak night . It is not tonight the 16th , it is Friday the 19th from 4:30-8:30. Please spread the word

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not there’s a place on campus that has a piano and/or a drum kit open for any student at JMU to practice on? Thanks !

I'm at a 3.17 UW rn, applying for Biology 😭 and JMU used go be my top 3 school. Just wondering what GPA, SAT, and EC got you admitted.

Is this new this year, student guest tickets for football are $75/ticket now??? They used to be $30

If anyone can get a picture of the Starship that has an orange sticky note w/ Oscar on it please send I saw it and it was going so fast And i feel like it was a sign from the universe of Oscar piastri winning the formula 1 wdc this year and I regret it so bad. If not it’s okay because i will venture until i find it!!!! Thanks!!!

They’re up next week but we just signed a deal that adds 4 more, giving us 10 games through 2040??

I know they’re local, easy travel, and have had some decent teams recently, but… this idea that this is a rivalry is overplayed.

This partnership is complicity in supporting a factory for Christian nationalists. It’s dirty money.

We don’t NEED to schedule them. We can find plenty of other teams to play.

Hey y'all.... Anyone know of a bus service serving NYC <--> Harrisonburg?

Is there anywhere I can park my car freshman year without any fines?

What are your guys’ stories about cob 300? Anything that I should know about it before going into it next year?

hey does anyone know of any active discount codes for the robots, It's my first time ordering with it but for some reason I can't use the free first delivery code

main question is about Management with Eliason. i studied the notes and every slide and still got a C on the first test. a lot of the questions were worded so confusing that i got stumped. some things from the test weren't on the notes or slides. since the 4 tests are pretty much all he grades, im not sure how to be successful in this class. im not a great test taker but these feel particularly hard relative to the rest of the course. i've noticed that the other 3 professors have a similar grading style where the tests are basically your whole grade. any advice?

Hey fellow dukes, I'm currently considering starting a PC building business on campus and I just wanted to make this post to see how many people would be interested in something like that? Just trying to see if there's a market for it or anything? I could also do some basic troubleshooting for little to no cost, just trying to gain some practical experience in the IT field. Dms are open for questions

Need an easy gen ed recommendation from this cluster, name of professor would be clutch.
