I loved JMU so much but I'm not going to lie certain aspects felt kind of exclusive for no reason but over all, it is a welcoming environment where people want you to succeed.
I transferred because I was paying tons of money for online classes that weren't very good and I felt the new experience wasn't worth the price.
Switching from in person to online learning is not easy for anyone, but most of the professors will do their best to help in any way they can. However, some professors feel that since things are online, that they can increase the difficulty and course load of the class, and I found that to be the most difficult challenge while learning online.
The environment and community at James Madison University is what caught my attention when I first toured their campus. Everyone is friendly, and everyone is willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
Both my online and in-person experience with courses was great at James Madison. There is at least 1-2 online courses available for an in-person class to cater to different student needs on the basis of learning. Most professors were proficient with online education and were always willing to accept feedback from their students on how their performance throughout the semester. My professor were kind, inspiring and insightful on the subject they taught and always wanted to find ways to help improve students educational experience. I would love to take courses with my same professors again.
James Madison is an ever-expanding, diverse and thriving public university with programs to caters to almost all students. It offers many majors to choose from which encourages the undecided high school graduates to create their own path. It certainly helped me discover my passion for healthcare and I was challenged and pushed by my peers and advisors to be the best version of myself. This school offers many clubs and organizations including Greek-life which can provide an uplifting, family-like atmosphere by connecting with those who have similar interests and forming life-long bonds. Having a degree from this college is one worth being proud of. I walk into interviews with confidence knowing that I have an education from such a well-known university on the East Coast and I am quick to prove my professionalism and high-performance to employers so they can see what this Duke is made of.
James Madison University Is a great college and the campus is very clean. The Café is by far the best part their food is great. There's not much that needs to be changed there it's an all around good school.
I didn't take any online classes but from what I've heard they are just as good as in person classes.
I have not taken any classes online with JMU. However, I have taken online classes through Community College and would be comfortable doing so at JMU.
JMU did a great job of providing an on campus personal tour using COVID-19 restrictions. The communication during the application process has been excellent.
JMU has done a good job with the online transition but I find it very difficult learning online. I miss the connection with other students and with the professors.
My experience with James Madison University has been amazing. It is such a welcoming University and I have enjoyed all the opportunities to be involved.
The community is very welcoming and I believe they treat others with respect. Plus, their food is pretty great. One thing I'd like to add is that classes are very helpful and the school provides the necessary resources. I am able to get my work done efficiently because the classes are useful. Overall, this university is amazing and helpful.
I have taken summer classes online and they were easily perceived. The flow of the classes in the classes is manageable.
For my sophomore year, it was mostly online. The classes were not difficult but it did feel different to not be able to see people in person. However, the classes were also manageable and organized.

Most professors transitioned very well to online learning and were very accommodating of students needs. They did a decent job of holding students attention and still getting all content across.
JMU is a wonderful environment with beautiful views of the mountains everywhere. They care a lot about their students and encourage involvement.
It was rough at certain points due to some teachers and even some students, including myself, not really grasping the concepts of online school. This is an experience for everyone albeit people are slowly starting to get better with online learning and understand the limits of what can be done.
It is a wonderful place to be at! I enjoy all aspects that are offered at this university, it is very encouraging and basically became a new home for me.
Difficult in the Spring 2020 semester, better in the Fall 2020 semester. Online learning is difficult regardless but JMU does an okay job at it.
James Madison University is an amazing school. I could not have made a better decision for college. Go Dukes!
