<p>FYI-JMU has Freshman Learning Communities- requires a separate application, once you have been accepted. The learning communites are grouped by major-all the learning community freshman live in the same dorm, along with non-learning community students. The dorm varies from year to year, the year my son was in it, it was housed in Gifford. The learning community students have some of their classes together, so it is a good way to make friends in your major. It was a good way to start off, for my son, although he did not want it at first. Check it out.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. Worth looking into.</p>
