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.

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.
Since there are more than 3,000 rooms on campus, it is impossible to provide information about specific rooms. However, you can check out our virtual tours of the room types on campus. There is even a measuring tool provided!
