JMU!

You can get a bus ride to Northern Virginia which would make it less of a car ride home. THey have buses every weekend that go to Vienna in NoVA for like $28 (one way)

The only thing about JMU that I don't like is sometimes it smells bad when it rains because there are dog food factories and chicken farms in the valley that waft over campus whenever it rains for some reason or another. It's not intolerable, but it's just kinda weird. We do have a new science building that is supposed to be pretty nice, I haven't had any sciences yet so I couldn't tell you what the classes are like. I can tell you that everyone here is very nice and there is a huge party scene if you are into that. Sometimes the party scene gets annoying because everyone is always out and it seems like there are only a few people who don't feel it necessary to go out every weekend.

People don't give JMU as much credit as they deserve academically. It has become a lot harder to get into JMU so it's become much more competitive and it's a much better school than a lot of people think. It's no UVA, but it's not VCU either...
