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:

  • Feelings of happiness/restlessness from break

  • Resolve to do better academically

  • Renewed interest in classes and activities

  • New leadership skills starting to emerge

  • Unwanted weight gain from holidays

  • Winter weather blues

  • Not many social activities scheduled

  • Possible roommate changes

  • Wedding plans for those who got engaged over break

  • Anxiety and uncertainty for those who just arrived at a new school

  • Contentment being back with friends after a few weeks away


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.
