For more information about the International Living Experience, please see Themed Communities . Ashby Hall, a residence hall completed in 1911, was named for Confederate General Turner Ashby, who was killed less than two miles east of JMU's campus. Ashby Hall reflects a traditional design of long open hallways with rooms on either side of the main corridor. Most rooms are arranged in suites with two or three students to a room and two rooms sharing a bath.
Students sharing the bath are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their bathroom.
Ashby hall also has a kitchen facility with microwave oven, vending services, large carpeted study lounges, TV lounges, and laundry facilities. Shopping Tips Beds measure 36 inches by 80 inches, so traditional fitted sheets will not fit. You may want to purchase carpet for your bedroom. Carpet orders will be delivered to campus and available to pick up at check-in. If you have been traveling northbound, at the top to the ramp, turn left onto Port Republic Road.
