Residential housing
JMU prides itself on our outstanding residence halls! Each mixed-gender hall has a variety of amenities, including kitchen facilities, study lounges, wireless internet and recreational features. Like many other universities, not all JMU’s halls are air-conditioned. Only about half of our halls have this feature. To beat the heat, we encourage you to bring a box fan for your window. Each hall contains at least one air-conditioned space, typically the TV lounge. Bluestone Bluestone halls reflect a traditional design of open hallways with double and triples rooms. First-year buildings include Harper Allen-Lee, Hoffman, Spotswood and Wayland Halls. Most Bluestone rooms are suites with two rooms sharing a bathroom. Students sharing the bathroom are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their bathrooms. Rooms in Wayland Hall share a community bathroom cleaned by housekeeping staff. All Bluestone halls are air-conditioned. Wayland Hall is a LEED Platinum-certified building. Hillside Double-occupancy rooms off of a hallway, Bell, Hillside and McGraw-Long Halls make up the Hillside area. These halls are three-story buildings with community bathrooms cleaned by housekeeping staff. All buildings in the Hillside area have air-conditioning. Lake Eagle and Shorts Halls are the first-year halls in the Lake area and not air-conditioned. These buildings have double rooms and a limited number of single rooms. Two wings of residents share a bathroom cleaned by housekeeping staff. Skyline The Skyline Area has four halls, Chandler, Chesapeake, Paul Jennings and Shenandoah, located on east campus. The majority of rooms in Skyline are double occupancy, with a few single- and triple-occupancy rooms. Most Skyline rooms have a shared bathroom, cleaned by housekeeping staff. There are some suite-style rooms in Skyline that share a bathroom. Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of these bathrooms. All Skyline halls are air-conditioned. Some double rooms in the Skyline area may be temporarily used as triple occupancy. Village The Village includes Chappelear, Dingledine, Frederikson, Garber, Hanson, Huffman, Ikenberry, Weaver and White Halls. The Village halls are mostly made up of suites of three double bedrooms that share a common living room. There are a few two room bedroom suites. While the Village does not have central air conditioning, the suite rooms are all air conditioned. Two suites share a community bathroom, cleaned by housekeeping staff.
