oh I don't know if I'd say there are a lot of knuckleheads. There definitely are some knuckleheads, I lived next door to some junior year, but for the most part everyone is very friendly and at least some what intelligent. The admissions standards have become a lot higher so I'm guessing lots of the knuckleheads don't get in anymore.

Steve, what year did you graduate? I can see why you might want to carry a gun off campus sometimes, but I don't think I would carry at something like block party. 

oh, and an update. out of the 30-35 people arrested, 4 were JMU students...

Thats one intense party!! haha

I wouldn't mind walking around and pickin up cans to take in. I'd bet i could get a decent amount of pocket change.

Wonder how many wallets, cell phones, panties, ect.. where found the next morning haha.

The day after I said that someone with enough ambition could have loaded a dumpster with cans to turn in for money.

And yeah, my friend found the front of a Motorola Droid and I found the battery a few yards away.

I did't graduate. I left early since my gpa was falling and I pursued the real estate market which at the time was booming. This was around 2000 or so. I transfered there after 3 semesters at NOVA tech lol. My jazz piano performance degree wouldnt have been worth jack anyways. Back when I was there I lived in hunters ridge and there was a big party basically 5 nights a week. The townies didnt bother us much altho at the bars they would tend to get into it with students.

I never carried a piece when on campus, no need. But when I went out to parties I was almost always carrying. You never know who's gonna try and sneak up on ya in the dark walking around from party to party. There was a shooting right in front of our townhouse one night and its a good thing I was inside minding my own business.

Back then JMU was rated top ten in the USA for beautiful girls and Im sure its still crawling with cuties. Been about 5-6 years since I been back there to party, Im gettin old 

yeah, some guy got shot my senior year. It was a bunch of thugs from out of town who were involved. That was also in Hunter's Ridge.

You aren't allowed to carry on campus, but that could be a new rule.

So you would carry when you went out partying?
