[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm really curious. Is it reputable? "Good"? Or a fall back? Or a safety school? Party school? It seems that EVERYONE has gone there or has kids attending. I also can't get over the I81 location. It's certainly no "Happy Valley".[/quote] It'a a respectable "regional university" that draws a lot of kids from the Mid-Atlantic region (about 25% OOS). I wouldn't pay OOS tuition for it, but I didn't want to pay OOS tuition for UMD either, so my kid is going to JMU this week. His interest is very, very specific and his decision was driven by faculty in the field. It was his second choice, but the only VA school he applied to. I'm a Penn State alum and I always thought State College and the campus were nothing special - I was never a football fan or a drinker. I'm not crazy about I-81 going through the JMU campus, but my DC will be residing and taking all the classes on the quad and that part of campus is quite pretty, imo.[/quote]
