Personal recommendation
This is a small town. You wont have a car so you are pretty much stuck. But friends can take you out to washington dc or places in the area. You might wanna live on-campus if you are worried.

Final comments
JMU is ok. Studies are not too hard, you will have a good amount of free time. However, I found it actually hard to fill that time. I worked out a lot. They have great sports facilities (www.jmu.edu/recreation).
If you like life in bigger cities, dont go to JMU, particularly if you stay more than one semester.
