Class of 2016

You still don’t know everything about your school.

But you dish out advice to freshies anyway.

I work for ORL, and we’re trying to make a program specifically designed for sophomores at JMU.  Inbox me your answers to these questions:

What’s the best part of being a sophomore at JMU?

What’s on your sophomore year bucket list?

If you could tell a freshman to do anything during their sophomore year, what would it be?

Try to avoid getting them from campus. Even if they have an appealing buyback and/or reward program.

Here are my tips for cheap textbooks/required readings for class:

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.
