haha yeah im 27, I have wanted to go for years, just one thing or another has come up, but figured its kinda do it, or forget it so yeah. Yeah JMU looks awesome, I kinda caused a few arguments with friends cause I had offers from University of Liverpool and as soon as I looked around campus at JMU, I rejected the University of Liverpool, which puzzled some people to say the least lol. I reckon no matter where you go, despite how "prestigious" the university supposedly is, if you want to do well, you will, and it is probably better to be somewhere you like being, rather than somewhere you don't. Being near home for me did not factor in at all, I would have quite happily moved away. How come your mum didn't want you to go JMU?
