Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The drug of choice at JMU is alcohol. Many students don’t consider alcohol to be a drug, but they also seem to depend on it as if it were one. Students have taken notice of the large amount of partying that goes on around the Harrisonburg vicinity. They also note that the majority of people at JMU seem to be involved, at some level, in the party scene. JMU’s party scene is out in the open, and most people seem to like it that way. However, most people also admit to not feeling horribly pressured to be involved in the scene if it doesn’t suit their fancy.

In addition to alcohol, marijuana is used on a regular basis. Often, when walking into a party, faint wisps of pot smoke will waft towards you on a breeze. Following that breeze to its source, you can almost always find a designated room in the house where people are hanging out and toking up. Students are more likely to admit to their weed-smoking habits, to display their pipes, and to want to “share the love” with other party attendees. Hardcore drugs are seldom spoken of, but like any other college community, they are doubtlessly present. At JMU, they are kept very hush-hush.

JMU parties, it's true. Most colleges do. That's not all we are, though. You're likely to find a party on any given night, but no one pressures you to drink. Unless, that is, you go for one of the big panhel sororities or IFC greek orgs. Drink if you want, don't if you don't want to. In any event, there is so much more that JMU has to offer than just a good party. Explore what interests you and you'll find people who enjoy what you do.
