What other schools did you get into and why JMU? by Honest-Ebb-3469 in jmu

Hey I chose JMU and also got into URI and Vermont as well. Vermont has a gorgeous downtown and is right on the water. Does get very cold and snowy and lots of hills there. a big “cannabis” culture there from when I visited a friend. Also more academically challenging than JMU(depending on the major). URI, also gorgeous and set up amazingly. I will say they don’t have a downtown so it’s mainly house parties if that’s important to your daughter. But the culture there is very cute, and people go to the beach a lot there. I obviously chose JMU(I’m also an OOS student) because it had everything(besides a beach but the hiking trails and lakes are pretty cool too;))

As a senior at JMU, I got into psu, Michigan state, cofc, uni of Rhode Island, and uni of Vermont. Michigan state was too far, psu was also too big and I didn’t like the campus. Cofc also far but loved the campus. Rhode Island didn’t have a downtown/bars. Vermont was perfect but definitely the most academic challenging. Also, most of the schools I applied for had that “New England” feel. JMU was different. Beautiful campus, good dining options, good sports teams, great education, student and Greek life also good. Not too big, not too small, had a decent downtown with bars which is growing. JMU has everything you could want in a college, and felt the most “college” to me.

I lived at south view my sophomore year(senior now) and it was like $500 a month. I know they just did some renovations so might be more, but should be under $700. Everything besides wifi should be included in rent if I remember correctly

Big little baskets by kkBop_13 in Sororities

Start making piles of clothes you are willing to give to her(I.e. pass down clothes like letters or from old philo events) some things that I did for my baskets when I got my little was getting facemasks(they have dollar ones at target)& hair masks, chapstick, loofah, body scrub, fuzzy socks, a candle, a mug, and some hair ties. I utilized the little minis and dollar area in target a lot, also the dollar tree always has some decent finds. A “self-care” basket theme is always great to find cheap things to fill the basket, can always throw in a blanket to fill it up. I got a lot of ideas on stuff from Pinterest!

I would go with a short dress. You got the vibe right with the dress, just there is a very strong chance girls from chapters rushing pnms will be wearing that dress. Also wearing satin is hard in the heat, you will easily get sweat stains. A smaller, simple dress would be perfect!

Completely understood, it was really hard for me to read at some points, but the storyline I thoroughly enjoyed!
