JMU has a more traditional college experience that is not in an urban area, something I wanted.

GMU has a college experience in an urban area. Different people want this.

It's true that football does create a common focal point for school spirit -- I'll give you that. But, "fraternity life" is NOT a positive. I was in a sorority. I know what goes on. For the most part, fraternities are toxic male culture. Not a selling point.

agree. But GMU does have 40 national and international Greek frats and sororities

And JMU is only 20% Greek. The vast majority of students there are *not* Greek.
