DD and DS both want to go to James Madison. Is it a good school?

What the fuck are DD and DS? Triple-fuck You!

We don't use those retarded acronyms.

DD: daughter

DS: Son

They are not acronyms.

Acronyms spell something. F.B.I. Is not an acronym, but S.W.A.T. is.

James Madison is a decent school, but it’s no VT / UVA / W&M

Hey dumbass, James Madison is private, not public.

JMU is full of transgendered people, and those who support that lunacy.

Good education school, competitive business school, decent fine arts but VCU is better, and hard working placement. Engineering should only be considered if you can't get into UVA or Tech and cannot afford out of state alternatives. Otherwise you make your own opportunities.

Top 3 private colleges in the state:

Washington and Lee
Mary Washington
James Madison

Fact!

If your kid didn't get into UVA, well, they're not that smart.

Since when is James Madison a private institution?

Are we really going to have this argument again?

Don't let this asshole OP win.

I want to DP the OP with her DS and DD.

I would get blue balls just looking at her!

Supposedly her older sister was Playboy hot.

WARHAWKS BABY!

Its all about Mary Washington

warhawks dude is yoked as all hell talking about some chick in college, this shit is great mahfuk

You can get a lot of good drugs there. Heroin, LSD, X, Weed

I graduated in 90 and she was Prom Queen.
Emi graduated in 94 I think.

Since its establishment by the Virginia legislature in 1908 as a school to train public school teachers, this institution has had five names:

State Normal and Industrial School for Women (1908)
State Normal School for Women (1914)
State Teachers College (1924)
Madison College (1938)
James Madison University (1977)

It's P-U-B-L-I-C and always has been.

Some of these pinheads don't understand the difference between James Madison University and James Madison High School. Most of course were never capable of actually graduating from either one.

All you asswipes are confusing James Madison University with James Madison high school . What a bunch of dumb fucks.

JMU is a shit University one step above nvcc.

Madison high school has fine half korean bitches to gawk at!

OP is posting a stupid topic anyways.

More Bodge sisters! I wannna Fappppp!

JMU is a joke

“Oh no, William & Mary won’t do...
But I’m no going back to my ole school”

My wife went there. Sucked George Michael's wilted cock and went to work for him at NBC4 in the sports department. Then she went and burned the coal with me and landed a job at ESPN. They offered her an extension and she walked away.

I'd say a JMU education is not very valuable at all...

James Madison University is a public (state) school.

James Madison University is NOT a private school.

This is not an opinion. It is a fact that can easily checked in less than 15 seconds.

Of Virginia's major universities, at 75% JMU has the highest percentage of whites.

I found that JMU was a good academic school that had a small school feel which is something that can be interpreted in several ways. First, if an intimate setting with small classes is important to you it may be the school for you. The flip side of it is that a small school feel also gives you a school that is essentially a large REGIONAL school with drastic limits in recognition, reputation and global reach. It is a different interpretation but a very important factor in the collegiate experience.

It USED to be a public school, but the board of trustees voted to go private in 2011. Since the Fall semester of 2012, it has been PRIVATE.

JMU used to be in Kansas as well, but then a TWISTER came along and, well, now it's here.

It’s not here, it’s in Harrisonburg.

You're saying that all of Harrisonburg used to be in Kansas?

You’re all wrong. James Madison is in Vienna.

James Madison High School is a Fairfax County Public High School in Vienna. Its sister school, James Madison University, is a private university in Harrisonburg. Their other sister school is Hollins College, because even if you're rich, spoiled, and a girl, you can not bring your horse with you to James Madison University.

The address of James Madison High School is 2500 James Madison Drive. That is a COUNTY address, not a TOWN address.

The high school and college are not related at all and the college is PUBLIC.

The college is private.

Everyone already knows that. Even the worthless trolls. Like Trump, their response to being revealed as liars is just to keep on lying.

JMU doesn't have a board of trustees.

JMU is private, and has a board of trustees. Former Governor Jim Gilmore is the head of it, and was the first to suggest privatization.

It has a board of visitors chaired by Vanessa M. Evans-Grevious.

Having a board of anything indicates nothing. Various public, private, and community colleges have one.

OK. Never mind. It's obvious you are lost.

The source of the confusion is, when it was a Kansas school it was public, and now that it is a Virginia school it is private. I don't know what Kansas will do when it moves back.

Both my son and my daughter attended JMU. It was very pricey, as most private schools are. But completely worth it, as one is a teacher at a Fairfax elementary school and the other works in HR for a local restaurant chain.

Authority: Title 23, Chapter 12.1, Code of Virginia.

A. This Item includes general and nongeneral fund appropriations to support institutional
initiatives that help meet statewide goals described in the Restructured Higher Education
Financial and Administrative Operations Act of 2005 (Chapters 933 and 945, 2005 Acts of
Assembly).

B. As Virginia's public colleges and universities approach full funding of the base adequacy
guidelines and as the General Assembly strives to fully fund the general fund share of the base
adequacy guidelines, these funds are provided with the intent that, in exercising their authority
to set tuition and fees, the Board of Visitors shall take into consideration the impact of
escalating college costs for Virginia students and families. In accordance with the cost-sharing
goals set forth in § 4-2.01 b. of this act, the Board of Visitors is encouraged to limit increases
on tuition and mandatory educational and general fees for in-state, undergraduate students to
the extent possible.

C. Out of this appropriation, $1,820,338 the first year and $1,820,338 the second year from
the general fund is designated to continue the increase in access for in-state undergraduate
students begun in the 2011 Session, support the projected growth in transfer students and
improve retention and graduation through additional advising for both transfers and students in
high demand majors.

D. The 4-VA, a public-private partnership among George Mason University, James Madison
University, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia and CISCO Systems, Inc, was established to
utilize emerging technologies to promote collaboration and resource sharing to increase access,
reduce time to graduation and reduce unit cost while maintaining and enhancing quality.
Instructional talent across the four institutions will be leveraged in the delivery of programs in
foreign languages, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The 4-VA Management
Board can expand this partnership to additional institutions as appropriate to meet the goals of
the 4-VA initiative. It is expected that funding will be pooled by the management board as
required to support continuing efforts of the 4-VA priorities and projects.

E. Out of this appropriation, $3,345,282 the first year and $3,345,282 the second year from the
general fund is designated to support the institution's approved six-year plan, consistent with
the objectives of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011.

F. Out of this appropriation, $79,220 the first year and $79,220 the second year from the
general fund and $39,019 the first year and $39,019 the second year from nongeneral funds are
designated to support increasing enrollment and graduation in STEM programs.

G. Out of this appropriation, $303,912 the first year and $323,652 the second year from the
general fund and $149,668 the first year and $159,411 the second year from nongeneral funds
are designated to redesign courses to improve student success.

H. Out of this appropriation, $46,000 the first year and $175,000 the second year from the
general fund is designated to implement a consortium, coordinated by the State Council of
Higher Education for Virginia, between James Madison University, Old Dominion University,
University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and the Virginia Community College System. The
purpose of this consortium is to develop and administer a pilot program geared towards helping
Virginia's veterans and military members in applying previous military training and education
towards completing existing bachelor's degree and professional certificate programs.

I. James Madison University shall reallocate two percent each year of its FY 2014 general fund
appropriation for educational and general programs for strategies that serve to advance the
objectives of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011. The amounts to be reallocated for
this purpose are estimated at $1,396,177 the first year and $1,396,177 the second year. These
reallocations are in addition to previous reallocations implemented by the institution in the
2012-2014 biennium. Specific programs and strategies for these reallocations shall be
documented in the institution's six-year plan.

Its a public institution that relies on funding from the State of Virginia.

What a dilemma, some posters firmly believe JMU to be a public University while others insist it's a private school I wonder if there's any evidence on JMU's website that would settle this. I must admit, they certainly don't make it obvious but here are a couple of clues.

This linked page has the tuition and fees for the 2017/2018 calendar year, in-state $10,878, out-of-state $27,278. Private schools don't have in-state/out-of-state tuition rates, it costs the same for everyone who attends.

https://www.jmu.edu/about/fact-and-figures.shtml

Or there's this page where they highlight that they are the #2 ranked PUBLIC school in the South according to US News & World Report.

https://www.jmu.edu/about/rankings-and-recognitions.shtml

I happen to have always thought it was a public based on the fact that I've got a kid in nursing school there on a Va prepaid tuition program that would only cut us a check for the average cost of Va public tuition if my kid was going to a private.

As others have posted it's a fine school, not as good as UVA or W&M but at least as good as VT (non-engineering) and for a program like nursing there really isn't any reason to pay more to send a kid to UVA other than parental ego and bragging rights.

Then maybe it was private when it was in Kansas?

Private universities have been illegal in Kansas ever since the TWISTER.

It's a public school.

I currently attend JMU. People on this site are grossly misinformed about it being a public school; it is private.

The uniformed have no clue...which makes me wonder about the talent of those claiming to go to school there.

From the university website: http://www.lib.jmu.edu/special/research/jmubibli.aspx

"Since its establishment by the Virginia legislature in 1908 as a school..."

Pretty sure if the State legislature created the school it is a public institution...but who knows, the trolls here will say black is white (well maybe not).

There are minds so weak that they relish seeing their own bullshit posts, even knowing that they couldn't have done any better even if they had tried.

It isn’t a public university anymore.

Both JMU and Madison High are being closed down because their namesake owned slaves. Any degrees or diplomas awarded by either are now worthless.

In related news, UVA is also being shut down because Tom Jefferson and slaves. TJ High School too.

The whole state of Virginia will be renamed, because Queen Elizabeth I (the 'virgin' in Virginia) owned slaves.

Ten of the first twelve US Presidents once owned slaves. The exceptions were John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

For a short period of time Ulysses Grant owned slaves, inherited through his wife’s father.

Obammy and his democrat sycophants tried to enslave taxpaying Anericans. Libs want everyone to be slaves to a totalitarian government.

Obammy's name should be removed from everything.

Its a public school

Every black American descended from slaves is far better off than anyone in Africa. Think about it. Blacks should either be thankful and celebrate that their ancestors took the free ride here, or they should move to Africa.
