JMU is an absolutely beautiful campus, and nestled in the Shenandoah Valley. Being a history major, it is really nice to be surrounded by such rich history. The campus is fairly large, and is spread out pretty much in one whole nucleus inside the city, and with this, the bus system is a life-saver if you plan to live off campus after your freshmen year. JMU is also a lot of fun, but they take education seriously, and have real, quailty professors.
