[quote=Anonymous]I think in a lot of ways they are comparable, however JMU's business department is ranked much higher than VT's. For engineering, obviously VT is the best choice. Academically, in a lot of ways they are comparable, but there are some areas in which one is stronger than the other. A lot of whether one or the other would be the best fit for a child depends on what size school they would like to attend. My DS wanted a large university, and VT appealed to him more than JMU for that reason. A child who would prefer a smaller, more personal feel while still enjoying the advantages of a mid-sized university would probably appreciate JMU more. During our visit to VT, the student giving us the tour told us straight out that some of her classes were taught by TA's and that sometimes students were not able to get the courses they needed, when they needed them. Those were things we'd heard rumors about, but they were not addressed in the admissions presentation that we received at VT (which was heavy on emphasizing school spirit and low on discussing the important academic topics).
