[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School Spirit & Football = Virginia Tech

JMU fans are enthusiastic, but it doesn’t quite match the size and tradition of VT football especially on Game Day. JMU does have an upcoming football program, though. Your daughter should check out TikToks of game days.

Greek Life = Both

Neither school has significant Greek Life. Students in sororities and fraternities enjoy it but I don't think it's a big deal on either campus.

Off-Campus Activities - JMU

Harrisonburg offers a more diverse and "cute" small-town shopping and dining experience, especially in the historic downtown district.

One thing to keep in mind if your student is flying into DC is that it's a long drive to Virginia Tech.

Good assessments.  I think Greek life at both schools is less than 20% - so it’s there but not dominating in any way.

VT has buses to Dulles, Charlotte, and Richmond airports for OOS students, as well as Amtrak.

I do think Blacksburg has a cute little downtown too for restaurants, shops, etc.  And I believe JMU football has become a really big deal recently.

Great opportunities at both schools.[/quote]
