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:

  • The exploration and acknowledgement of personal values

  • Long distance relationship strain

  • Feelings of loneliness and homesickness

  • A desire to feel connected to campus

  • Roommate adjustments

  • Experimentation with alcohol and other drugs

  • Getting acclimated to a new type of academics

  • Figuring out how to get organized and manage her time

  • Searching for a sense of belonging

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.
