GMU vs. JMU

[rmeisenbart]

Somebody please help me, i was accepted to George Mason in December and have had my deposit in for a while, and was waitlisted at James Madison. I was accepted to JMU today and now am forced to make a decision by Wednesday, so i would like to ask which school you all think i should attend after reading about my dilemma. First and foremost, i live about 30 minutes away from GMU and about 1.5 hours away from JMU, so neither are particularly far. I plan on studying Sport Management at whichever i decide. GMU has a very good sport management program, and currently have Charlie Casserly, former Washington Redskins GM, as a part-time professor. JMU has a good program as well, but not as good as GMU to my knowledge. JMU has the greater social life by far, and would most likely offer me the best college experience (girls), social life, and community. I have been told that GMU can get very boring, and being that i’ve lived in the area my whole life, i think i’ll get sick of it there quickly. I also have heard that Harrisonburg itself is boring, but i feel like i won’t really venture into the town since i’ll be at school. I would also like to note that i may not spend all four years at either school, as after my freshman year i plan on trying to transfer to North Carolina State. Any insight on either school would be greatly appreciated!
