The only thing I can say that is overpriced is the meal plan. Only freshman are required to participate in a meal plan, which is usually around $1,600 per semester. BUT JMU's food is #5 in the nation, and it really is great. I live off-campus this year, but still participate in a meal plan because I love campus food. Just make sure that once you live off-campus, when purchasing a meal plan, get it all in dining dollars. The punch plan really punches your pockets. read full review -

Students who want to enjoy their next four years. If you know what major you want or don't then that's fine, you have quite a while to decide and quite a few majors to choose from. There is diversity also. The only problem is that JMU does suffer from a bit of grade inflation, so if you're looking to end up being a lawyer or something who stands out from the rest, you may want to look into another college. You may still want to come here, but you'd have to engage yourselves in quite a variety of extracurricular activities I should assume, which JMU has a lot of. read full review
