James Madison University

Report Card

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students note that Harrisonburg comes up short, as far as bars and nightclubs go. As a result, apartments and houses have become the main party venues. Some students complain about the fact that most of JMU’s students are heavily involved in the party scene. On Monday morning, as you dodge empty kegs and red plastic cups on your walk from the apartments to campus, it’s hard to believe that not everyone takes part in the weekly hullabaloo. However, if you choose to abstain, even the most dedicated of drinkers will most likely respect your choice.

Although students will lodge some minor complaints about the excessively flourishing festivities, the whimsical weather, the perpetual parking pitfalls, and the lack of notable nightlife, the overall consensus is that JMU is a lovely location to live. With JMU’s beautifully landscaped campus, the close proximity of the luscious Shenandoah Valley, the knowledgeable professors, friendly staff, and warm-hearted student body, it’s not a huge surprise that students spend four or more very happy years at James Madison University. Freshmen, upperclassmen, graduates, and transfers agree that James Madison is a unique place to receive an education. The amiable attitude around town and campus has created a truly welcoming environment at James Madison University and helped Harrisonburg live up to its nickname, “the Friendly City.”

Bars, Bars, Bars

Downtown there are a ton of bars, and if your 21 and over nightlife is awesome. If your not 21 or over there are parties pretty much at every student housing apartment complex. Just take your pick.

Expensive

Apartments that are advertised for student living are pretty expensive. I suggest going to look for a place through a real estate agency in town for non-student living places and going in with 2 or 3 roommates.

Love It

I love JMU and have never met anyone who doesn't love it too. The gym is awesome, the dinning halls have good food and are constantly updated, the stadium is now immense! And everything just looks clean, new, and beautiful all of the time around campus
