Our unique home in the Shenandoah Valley
Mountains, farmland, the wide sky full of stars are what make the
Shenandoah Valley, and JMU's home in it, so unique and so beautiful.
There are ski slopes, trails for biking, rivers for fishing, forests
for camping -- on any given evening you can choose between home-cooked
southern-fried chicken, an edgy coffee shop, live music in a bar or
ethnic cuisine. Throw out the stereotypes and choose between country
roads or downtown nightlife, farmers' markets or vintage thrift shops,
live Shakespeare or live jazz.
Explore Harrisonburg
What's cool in and around the 'Burg? The great outdoors, a piece of history, high art and plenty of fun destinations downtown and around Harrisonburg — it's all here. While you're arranging your schedule, be sure to save plenty of time
for your visit to James Madison University. The heart of our institution
is our students - more than 17,000 strong. Sporting purple and gold
most days, they drive the activity of our vibrant campus.
Visitors are always welcome at JMU!
