<p>thank you so much for your response, Judyrn203. I am asking because we are from NY and don’t know much about JMU. From what I have read I think it should be on my daughter’s radar (she is a junior) but because of the unfamiliarity she is being sort of closed minded. I am going to try to make a trip there because I do feel that it has a lot of what she is looking for and there were other schools that she had vetoed, until we went to see them, and now she loves them. The website says that the out of state is about 30% do you know if there is any way I can find out about kids from New York, New Jersey, etc. attending. She also sort of feels that it is a southern school and that the kids might not be that accepting of someone from New York. congrats again on your daughter’s acceptance! Thank you again for the information and I do think that we are going to plan to make a visit.</p>
