Besides the overall school reputation being better (don't know about their CS programs), James Madison has IMHO much better weather. Unless you're used to it being very cold much of the school year, and potentially having lots of snow, Minnesota-Duluth would be a difficult fit for most international students. It's also considered a lesser school in that state for those more concerned with drinking than studying.

Though you'd have to do some homework of your own to determine fit based on what's important to you, I think it's highly likely that JMU would be a better choice for you than UMD.
