Evan Payton ’14

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

Name: Evan Payton

Age: 19

Year: Sophomore

Major: Business Marketing

Hometown: Gainesville, VA

Relationship Status: Single

Activities/Interests: I’m currently only in Sigma Nu fraternity but plan on joining a couple more clubs. I love playing sports in my free time such as basketball, soccer etc. I’m also a big music guy, so you’ll easily catch me with my iPod! 

Why did you choose JMU? I just knew it was the right school for me when I first visited. The campus is big but it has a small feel to it, which is what really got to me.  FOOD is one of the biggest reasons why I chose this school too – I actually want to look forward to lunch and dinner throughout the day instead of dreading it!  Also because I wanted to be around positive and spirited students. When I visited, all I saw were students and ambassadors smiling at us potential students like we were already part of the campus. It really was a good feeling.

What is your ideal date?  Just the casual dinner and a movie. I ‘d like to actually get to know the girl more than impress her with a super expensive and outrageous date.

Celebrity crush: Mila Kunis
