For the guys at JMU, it takes a glance or two to find some eye candy; for the girls, it may take some serious elbow grease, but they do exist. Although JMU guys are harder to lump into one category, female students lament that all the hot ones are taken. However, not every fella is an absolute cad. At a party, a burly frat boy will slam into you and quickly ask with genuine concern if he spilled beer on you. Try to control your astonished gape, ladies, and accept the unfathomable truth that nice, attractive boys at JMU are not a figment of your imagination. Then tell the poor guy that, although he spilled three-fourths of his Natty Light on your leg, his authentic interest more than covers the party foul. If you’re a male reader, do re-read and take note of this frat boy’s admirable behavior.
JMU ladies, on the other hand, seem to be largely blonde, tan, and beautiful. These female hordes can be intimidating at times, especially in the party scene. The imbalance of maleness on campus does account for a certain amount of cattiness and competition, both of which alcohol can augment. In addition, JMU girls are famous for looking positively bronze during months when the sun is not shining. However, there are thousands (literally) of down-to-earth, friendly JMU girls out there, as well.

Academically!
The guys and girls at JMU, are very motivated. I see people dressed to learn, and not necessarily to dress to impress unless they have a project or presentation to present.

Guys and Girls
When coming to JMU you will find some hot girls and guys. There are definitely more options for the guys since the university's population contains more girls... EVERYONE here is also really nice! You will also find that a lot of girls wear leggings and boots on a rountinely basis (its practically uniform); however, the girls know how to dress up for the night time. Everyone here also owns a Northface jacket.
The school is known for the parties; so, if you want a good time on the weekend come here (:

Variety of People
As much as I want to categorize the people at JMU as a whole, I really can't. At this school, you'll find a wide variety of stereotypes. Some may seem more prevalent--"biddies" among the girls, for example. But it doesn't require much effort to find a genuinely nice and interesting counterpart to engage in conversation with.
