[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at GMU.

It is a better school academically.

However, if your kid is set on the college social/sports/party/greek life experience, they might be happier at JMU.  GMU is a more serious school and does not have a big party culture.[/quote]

OP here.  DS isn't really a partier and probably wouldn't do greek life.  He would like the other social aspects of college, including sports (both intramural/club and going to games as a spectator).  To the other poster, math is his strongest subject, so he would probably take the additional optional classes if he went to JMU.[/quote]

NP.  I’ve had two non-Greek kids graduate from JMU and both were involved in intramural sports and other clubs.  Both loved going to games, etc. with friends.  Plenty of kids do not go Greek at JMU - only 20% are Greek.  [/quote]

Riight.

But if they want that greek stereotypical college experience,  they won't get that at GMU.  There are a handful of frats/sororities, but being located in the middle of an affluent community like Fairfax means that GMU does not have the same party culture of JMU.

If OPs kid or anyone's kid wants that college party experience,  JMU is a better bet.[/quote]
