JMU On Campus Enrollment Seemingly Plateauing Just Under 21K
By Scott Rogers • December 18, 2019
Based on JMU's enrollment projections approved by the State Council of High Education for Virginia, on campus enrollment... Declined a bit this year, from 20,812 students down to 20,684. Will stay between 20,800 and 21,000 for the next seven years! Of the variety of different figures that exist within the enrollment projections, the "Total On-Campus Headcount" is typically seen as the most pertinent relative to our local housing market. This figure is the best reflection of the number of students who will need housing, either on JMU campus, or off campus. These figures, and their changes over time, are the best numbers to be using when analyzing the need for off campus student housing in Harrisonburg -- and seem to be indicating that our local market does not need more student housing -- since enrollment is only anticipated to rise by 205 students between now and 2025.
