What is a typical day at James Madison University? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Before my departure I realized one thing: I do not know what a typical day at James Madison University (JMU) looks like. So here I am trying to solve this one for you: <\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, all the participants of the summer program live in a dorm. Which means that everyone has a roommate. Fortunately, the room we are in is huge and the bathroom too. To be precise, each apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with one common room including the kitchen. So be mentally prepared to share your life with at least 4 persons. Personally, I spend most of my free time with my new classmates as we all live on the same floor. However, do not worry, you can also decide to be on your own and discover the city (small city, by the way, be aware).<\/span><\/p>\n

What about the routine? So, every morning we wake up around 7:15 to prepare ourselves before breakfast. Every breakfast is taken in the cafeteria which is 10 minutes away by foot. You can find everything in the cafeteria: you will see, it is great! Classes are usually scheduled from 9 to 12 and then from 14 to 17. It represents about 6 hours of classes during the weekday. Yet, there is from time to time activity scheduled in the afternoon. The most predominant class would be the Leadership class but there is also the Cultural and Diversity Class and the Global Citizenship Class. This schedule means two things: we have two hours of lunch break and we are free from 17 on! Unfortunately, the cafeteria closed at 19 so we usually go to eat right after class: very early for me and my Argentinian friends. But we eventually get used to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner free time! For most of us, it means relaxing, watching a movie in the common area or going to UREC. UREC stands for University Recreation Center where you can practice any type of sports: from rock climbing to swimming and playing basketball. It has been the most impressive building on the campus. It is huge and there is everything you need. Plus: you do not have to pay to borrow equipment. And for the lazy one (like me) there is what they called a \u2018lazy pool\u2019 and a sauna. No wonder why Americans spend so much money to go to University. <\/span><\/p>\n
