Seasonal Student Issues

There’s a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student issues. Here are a few things your student may be experiencing this month:

  • Difficulty getting into study mode

  • Things become routine…school finally becomes home

  • Missing family and friends at home, and friends who did not return to school

  • Cliques become stronger within residence hall communities, student organizations and in classes

  • Cabin fever and burnout

  • Pressures to figure out living plans for next year as the room assignment process draws near

  • Valentine’s Day depression if not dating

  • Vocational choice/internship search causes anxiety

  • Spring break planning underway

Our Mission Statement

The Office of Residence Life at James Madison University is committed to designing and maintaining a caring environment that encourages academic success, respect, personal growth and responsibility to one's community.
