20 Reasons Why James Madison University Is The Absolute Best

Everyone has a great sense of pride when they choose their dream school, but JMU kids feel it just a little more. Keep reading for the top reasons why James Madison University is the absolute best!

1. The Hills

The freshmen 15 is next to impossible to gain after a walk on JMU’s campus.  These hills keep you toned and are your best friend/ worst nightmare.

2. East Campus Sunsets

Nothing is better then leaving ISAT with an insane burst of colors in the clouds.  Your walk back to village has never looked better.

3. UREC (Sauna)

Sure, UREC is known for its beautiful machines, new pool and smoothies, but the sauna is something only A1 gyms contain.

4. Food Trucks

What’s better than a Starbucks, Fueled, and Nacho Papi on wheels? Nothing, the answer is nothing.

5. Greek Life/ Constant Partying

It’s called work hard play hard for a reason and JMU students get that going out friday night is no excuse for staying in Saturday day.

 

6. Nooks

Festival is not just known for its grilled cheese, these nooks are the relaxation stations you need in your life.

7. @JMUlove

Instagram showcasing all of the beauty JMU has to offer, run by students for students.

8. Freebys in Showker

Not many things in life a free, but at Showker we have hundreds of companies handing out free merch as well as chick-fil-a nugs & candy.

9. Quad Cats & Dogs

Love animals? Come to the Quad and you’ll see our quad cats roaming around and puppies playing with their owners.

10. Hiking trails are everywhere

I am sure by the time graduation comes around you’ve been on at least one hike or stood on two states at once.

11. SSC Bistro 1908

Dunkin for when you’re in a hurry, but if you choose to dine in…get the Shannendoah salad with grilled chicken, you won’t regret it.

12. The Stacks

Ever wondered if you could study somewhere completely silent…to the stacks you go.  It feels like an alternate universe, I wonder if anyone sleeps there?

 

13. Jennifer at POD

The students aren’t the only nice people on campus, stop by the Showker POD and expect to here “of course ma’am!” and “Yes Sir!” while grabbing your coffee.

14. Game Day

If you happen to stumble in to a game they’re actually pretty exciting and maybe you’ll get lucky and get hit by a streamer, or ten!

15. FROG WEEK

A week where we can all act like freshmen, roam Forrest and attempt to make it to trop smoothie for the 50% off deal to revive us.

16. Clubs on Clubs on Clubs

You want to print 3D? We got a club for that.  Do you need some yoga to relax? We got a club for that. Do you care for the environment? We got an E.A.R.T.H. club for that.

17. Movie Theater

We are for sure ballin on a budget, but have you checked out Grafton on campus Theater? $3 movies, need I say more.

18. Numerous Study Abroad Opportunities

Before you enter the real world, save up some money and apply for the London, Antwerp, Panama City/Columbia study abroad! Do it for the gram

19. Did someone say NATIONAL CHAMPS

Yeah, we do football #sports

20. The People

No one cares where you came from, what club or sorority/fraternity you’re in, people here are nice, it’s that simple.  You don’t need to tell us to hold a door chances are were already there.
