<p>What are some fun things to do around the campus area/what to people usually do during the weekends?</p>
<p>get absolutly wasted. Drinking may not be your thing before starting jmu but it will be once you get there. The school is known for having free beer at parties.</p>
<p>that’s not true.
there are plenty of things to do around campus/Harrisonburg that don’t involve getting wasted. True, a large percentage of the population does go out and party on the weekends, but there are many people who do not.
One of the things that a lot of people in my dorm did when they decided not to go out was to go see a movie at Grafton-Stovall. It’s basically a movie theater on campus where tickets cost only a couple of dollars. Grafton-Stovall doesn’t play movies currently in the theaters though, it plays newly released (on DVD) ones. It’s a great way to see a movie without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money at Regal Cinemas.
A lot of weekends, there are random events going on during the weekends, such as a capella/choir/band concerts, late night breakfast, and a bunch of other things. I’m in marching band and a sorority, so a lot of activities for those organizations were on the weekends, so I’m not exactly sure about what goes on/what type of activities they had, but I did have a lot of friends who would go to those.
I hope this helps!!
