JMU is a great school.BrightEnglish
JMU is a great school. The motto of "all together one" covers it well. Its very much a community, and yet you still maintain your independence. Harrisonburg is called the friendly city for a reason. Sure its not the most happenind city in thw world but it has things going. And if you want to pary you can always find a party, but if thats not your thing then there is always someone else who feels the same way. I urge everyone to look into this GREAT school! GO DUKES!

Question
Be advised that James Madison is in theBrightOther
Be advised that James Madison is in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains (i.e. in the middle of nowhere). If you can accept the location, Madison will prove a valuable and enjoyable experience. The academic reputation of JMU is well-recognized- I now attend a top-notch law school on the strength of my Madison degree- and the instructors are always available and devoted to undergraduate education (not their own research or graduate students.) Great study abroad options, nice campus, and fantastic tuition make Madison a good choice. Consider JMU.

Question
JMU is a great place to go to school.Quite BrightCommunications
JMU is a great place to go to school. Not too big, not too small. The only really bad thing about being here is the Harrisonburg community, it's a boring place and the people are not that friendly, but JMU students make up for it. The social scene around the school itself makes up for that though.
