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:

  • Anxiety and tension due to realizations that the year is ending and final exams are about to occur

  • Senior panic about jobs, finances, etc.

  • First-year students are feeling somewhat confident because they feel that they have made it through the first year (almost!)

  • Good feelings are evident as summer is near

  • Lots of cramming, studying and wrapping things up academically

  • End of the year socialization

  • Packing and checking out

  • Saying goodbye to important people and putting closure on the year

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.
