JMU was the best decision I've made and that's no exaggeration. I met friends I will have for the rest of my life and grew as a person in ways I never could have imagined. The faculty here are very supportive and challenge your perspective. JMU just feels like home, it might have alot of students but you'd never know it by the feel on campus

I graduated from this school, and had the best years of my life there! I moved to another state and interviewed for a job, and the hiring manage said he brought me in for the interview and offered me the job because he was very familiar with the caliber of graduates JMU produces!
