<p>fladad, I had the same concerns. At the time my son was first considering JMU, it was through CC that I conversed with a mother whose D who was an upperclassman at JMU. She told me that if she knew the transportation problems, her D would not have attended. They were from Vermont. Fladad, I did investigate taxis and limos from the airport, just in case my son needed to fly home on a weekend when most people were on campus. The cost is just prohibitive! Frankly, this is the only thing that I find unsettling about JMU. I know that my son has a couple of very good friends, and that if there were a family emergency they would drive 4 hours (2 hours each way) to Dulles if really necessary, but I still don’t like the situation. We don’t have the situation that your D has, because my son has access to Collegetransit (private coach bus), and if he is not getting a ride from another student he can use that rather than flying home.</p>
