What our students say

"The people at JMU are very friendly and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. I applied for a campus job at UREC and learned a lot of skills. I grew up in a big city, but I’ve always wanted to live in a slow-paced small town. Harrisonburg is perfect for me. People are very friendly and willing to help. At the same time, there’s always something going on at JMU’s campus"
