<p>JMU is my top college choice. The problem is, I'm from central NY, so JMU is about a 7-8 hour drive and my parents are really against me going to school so far away. Would transportation home for breaks and such really be a conflict or is it easy to take a train, plane, ride from a friend, etc?</p>
<p>Not sure where in central NY but you can easily get transportation to the DC airports. I think there is still a bus that comes up 81 to the metro station which connects to national airport. You can almost certainly catch a train from Harrisonburg as well. There is a small airport there too I think. I’m sure the JMU website will offer more information.</p>
<p>My DD is a freshman and has 2 roomates that live in Ny and CT. Neither have ever had a problem getting a ride home. There is a bus for breaks, and always someone ready to give a ride.</p>
