“I transfer during the spring semester and itAverageJournalism
I transfer during the spring semester and it was kinda hard to adjust up here coming from a community college. I think the school should find a way for students to have an easy time adjusting up here. This school does get criticized up here for not having enough African Americans up here but I am an African American and think this school is fine as it is. There are many Asians, Hispanics, etc, up here. So, there is plenty of diversity up here but not as many African Americans though. After finally adjusting up here, I really would like to be up here forever!!! Most of the people here are nice and friendly. (they are so nice that sometimes it's creepy but that's because I never been used to so much friendly people.) I am not all that sociable but I have still made lots and lots of friends up here. Many of them actually try to know you first before you try to know them. There are so many parties up here and anyone is usually invited to these parties because most people are really nice and accepting to anyone. There are also so many things do here besides going to parties. There are plenty of athletic events (good football team), social events, and many other things and a lot of clubs to join in. Also there are 70% females and 30% males here. Most of these girls are SUPER SUPER HOT!!! I do not think you can find that many unattractive girls here plus these are so so friendly that they actually approch you for a conversation before you approach them. One night when I was trying to leave from this backyard party, I had a couple of good-looking girls that offer me a ride back to my dorm. (they actually approached me first!) It was really nice of them and I was in a car with four really good-looking white girls. Not only the girls here are really attractive, but they are usually easy to talk to. Since this school is totally female- dominated, about every guy here can definitely find a girlfriend or two here. These are definitely some of the hottest girls on a college campus.

“In my honest opinion, even though I wasBrightCommunications
In my honest opinion, even though I was eventually kicked out of school for legal troubles, James Madison is a great school. I will list how I feel about different areas of the school.
Student Body (B+)=Students are extremely friendly and helpful, but a big part of this school revolves around sorority sluts and fraternity idiots. (I was in a fraternity so don't think that I am just saying this because I didn't have friends and I dated 2 sorority girls, so don't judge me in that department either.)
Professors (A)= The professors are all approachable and extremely helpful. They are all knowledgable and creative when it comes to assignments.
Classes (A-)= The classes can be challenging and difficult, especially the business school, but overall are interesting and fair.
Surrounding Town (F)= Harrisonburg is the lamest town I have ever been to and there is absolutely nothing to do, but get drunk and smell the sweet smells of chicken shit.
Campus (A-)= This is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen, but don't get me wrong some of the Florida, California, and Arizona schools are a little better.
