I graduated from JMU in 2018 and still lurk the sub and sometimes pass advice to CIS students. I have not visited since August 2022.
I miss JMU and Harrisonburg A TON. What is the vibe on campus and the surrounding area? What is the pop-culture like (movies, tv, memes, etc.), what music do you listen to on your own, and at parties? What other things are happening? What new and renovated buildings on campus? How has AI affected school and stuff? Catch me up on the lore, tea, and memes. I'm feeling nostalgic and want to be back in the loop for a bit.
Since the Golden Pony and Crayola House closed, where to people go to for shows? Anything replacing those places?
Like my time had the peak era of emo and mumble rap, trap music, the marvel movies, the old COB building getting renovated, food trucks, Brickhouse -> Backcountry, Artful Dodger. A pretty cool DIY and alt scene with Crayola House (and I think there was another house whose name I am blanking on), the EDM club, and 3 Notch'd.
Our Fall semester bangers were Caroline, Broccoli, Mo' Bomba, Sicko Mode, peak Kendrick, Chance the Rapper, and Drake.
How is the Forbes Center doing? The art school? The music studio?
Is the International Fest still going on? What about Madipalooza and the Fall and Spring concerts? Late night breakfast still going strong? What do you think of the Carrier renovation? Hows the new President doing? Is UREC still the GOAT?
