Review of James Madison University

from Hammonton, NJ

Describe your college in three sentences.

JMU is what I would call the Disney Land of universities. From first glance, it is a beautiful campus with fantastic people, both physically and mentally. Yet, behind the scenes, like Disney, it is a strategic series of difficult tasks that create such a great outcome.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

A tip for prospective students would be to learn your limits as soon as possible. JMU is a work hard play hard institute. Students here push themselves in the classroom just as hard as they do at the beer bong table. And, always be comfortable with who you are. With 18,000+ students, this small feeling university has so much to offer that there is no need to conform.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Ranked number one in the nation right now for the Accounting Program, JMU pushes its students just as hard as any private institute. However, unlike a private university or an IVY league, our professors are always there to assist and give us the answers to any questions. There theory is to educate, not fail a student.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The village lacks air conditioning. East campus dorms are amazing and the rest are equally nice. The housing situation is really great.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Ranked as the nations 5th best food, JMU prides itself on options and taste. Between all the places to choose from (over 10) you will never be bored or upset with lunch or dinner. And now, double punching on the weekend is allowed, meaning more food for your week.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

With so many organizations and all the assistance you need to join them, there should never be a dull moment at JMU. They want you to get out and have fun.
