James Madison University Student Reviews

Student Body

It's easy to get the impression that all of the students here come from bum-***ing-nowhere. It's not so much that everyone is as much as it is the fact that the bunch that are make themselves noticable. I really don't know how many times I've heard "There were less than ten black people at my high school" or "Wait, so all you Asians don't talk the same?" Being Asian, I'm used to dealing with ignorance, but never on this scale. And, even then, ignorance never really bothers me but it's people that are ignorant and don't give a *** about fixing it that make me want to start fighting people. It's cool that you don't know what kinf of Asian I am, I'm ambiguous looking, I'll give 'ya that. But when I hear someone go, "Well, it's all the same thing anyways" a bit of my soul dies. Moral of the story: Rednecks need not be present in bulk to make your life miserable. Another thing, I said it only seems like there are a *** ton of rednecks. The true dominant demographic is Affluent White people. No ***ing joke, I was in a class where the professor asked people to guess what they think the median annual household income for the NATION is. These douchebags guessed anywhere from $80,000-$150,000. Hell, I take back what I said, these are just rich rednecks. I hear the same lack of minority exposure stories from these people. The depressing part about it all is that these are the children of some of the most powerful people in the world, and they're on the path to the same and they still harbor these ridiculous misconceptions about the world around them. Frankly, the University's recruiting efforts aren't helping.
