[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JMU grad here, so of course I am biased :D I still think JMU > VT (undergrad) for a variety of reasons. VT really is a "factory" as a PP pointed out. Specifically for academics though, the classes have hundreds of students, no interaction with the professor (only the TA). My largest class at JMU (think 100-level) was probably 100 students max. Most 3/400-level classes had 15/20 students. [/quote] If you're equating higher quality with smaller classes , then JMU > UVa. DC is a first year student at UVa, and has had classes that ranged from 12 students to ~400 (so large they can't all fit in the lecture hall and latecomers have to go to an overflow room where the lecture is piped in via CCTV). Has not been able to get into a required upper level language class at all this year so will fill that requirement at least 1 1/2 years after taking the last high school language class. Has had lots of interaction with TAs - not so much with professors. UVa is a great school for many things, but it also has a bit of that factory feel, at least for arts & sciences students trying to fulfill core requirements. Other schools in the university probably have a different feel. [/quote]
