If you value basic amenities as an undergradNot so brightBiology
If you value basic amenities as an undergrad living on campus, DO NOT GO HERE. Freshmen and anyone who is forced to live on campus are treated like cattle that they have to take care of. Bathrooms are very dirty, toilet paper is a commodity, and any department you try to contact treats you like an annoyance. The internet is god awful beyond reason, i.e. you can't access youtube, play any games or download any music on campus internet. Classes are nice, but the university is just horrible until you get off campus.

Question
All ive got to say about jmu isBright
All ive got to say about jmu is give it a chance. I dont go to it im just a ressident of Harringsonburg sure its not exiting but if you know ur way around u can do something + the campus is beuatiful we only have southern hospitality but dont make ur self think only southerners live its so special Barack Obama came last year+ We have cool concerts like Lil Wayne. So instead of being bored allthe time go hiking or go to Mattsunutten so u can go snow tubing in winter and g o to the 4 season water park

Question
In my honest opinion, even though I wasBrightCommunications
In my honest opinion, even though I was eventually kicked out of school for legal troubles, James Madison is a great school. I will list how I feel about different areas of the school.

Student Body (B+)=Students are extremely friendly and helpful, but a big part of this school revolves around sorority sluts and fraternity idiots. (I was in a fraternity so don't think that I am just saying this because I didn't have friends and I dated 2 sorority girls, so don't judge me in that department either.)

Professors (A)= The professors are all approachable and extremely helpful. They are all knowledgable and creative when it comes to assignments.

Classes (A-)= The classes can be challenging and difficult, especially the business school, but overall are interesting and fair.

Surrounding Town (F)= Harrisonburg is the lamest town I have ever been to and there is absolutely nothing to do, but get drunk and smell the sweet smells of chicken shit.

Campus (A-)= This is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen, but don't get me wrong some of the Florida, California, and Arizona schools are a little better.
