[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. As a parent of a VA junior, I have several questions about Tech and JMU. 1) For a non math/science major, is one reputed to be stronger than the other, including for grad school placement? 2) Does JMU have the gigantic classes I have heard Tech has? 3) Does anyone have experience with honors programs at either school? 4) If your DC had the choice between these schools (not UVA or WM) and going private, and you could afford the latter (albeit not easily), would it be worthwhile? 5) Social climate at either school? My DC really doesn't want to go to a large school, so WM is top choice. I am not sure how much to encourage looking at private schools in case DC doesn't get in, or whether we should insist that Tech or JMU be backups. (I know they are not safeties for everyone, but they would be for DC.). Thanks![/quote] Have you looked into University of Mary Washington? A step down from WM for sure, but similar in many ways.[/quote] yep, I was just going to post this myself. If you are looking for an in-state alternative to W&M, I'd look to UMW before JMU or VT.[/quote]
