Why I chose to attend JMU: While touring Virginia schools with my parents I fell in love with JMU the first time I visited – the campus, the people and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Once I learned more about the SMAD program and talked with current students I knew JMU was perfect for me. I visited one more time before making my final decision!
What JMU means to me: Support, service and new experiences – whatever you need academically, personally or professionally there is someone here to help you. I always enjoy the question from visitors, “Is everyone here that friendly?” – YES!
Advice to students selecting a college: Learn about yourself during the process. The college search can be overwhelming, but it is a great opportunity to think about your future goals, personality and interests to find a college that fits. Keep in mind that these may all change throughout college, which is part of the experience.
Class at JMU: Between undergrad and grad school my top three classes would include any of my study abroad classes in London, Principles of Advertising and Counseling Techniques.
JMU Memory: Getting to perform on the Globe stage in London and seeing Obama speak at the convocation center.
