My DD has applied to JMU early action. We visited there in late August. There were many positives about the school. One concern we had was that on campus housing is only guaranteed to freshman and that off campus housing seemed mostly accessible by bus or car and not within walking distance of the campus. Can any JMU students tell me what the housing situation is like? Is it very inconvenient to get back and forth from off campus housing to classes, meals and activities? What about getting to and from the library? Are there any safety concerns?
