Are you a jmu grad?

And if you needed proof. . . .

...of what?

Ha. I guess you didn't even notice the horrendous writing, spelling, grammar, everything wrong with the JMU grad's post.

Did you get rejected? No sweat. I hear George Mason has the best ranked bovine scatology west of Marymount U and East of NoVa.

I went to Princeton. I'm just here for the fun.

That *am* not an sentence in Engrish langrage. Did you attend your dream school George Mason?

Of course it's a sentence. It lists everything wrong with the JMU post: writing, grammar, spelling and everything.

Except the person who posted it in the first place has nothing to do with jmu. moron.

Ha! Drunk texter strikes again! Settle this for us: where did (do) you go to school?

Lot of good that degree did you if you're posting here at 2149 on a Saturday. *Yawn*

Or was that Princeton Review?

They've got a sense of humor. Gotta give them that.

1 person huh? I doubt it based on the number of folks who turn down Tech to go to Madison every year.

The reality is that these two schools are pretty much in the same league, with one being better than the other only depending on particular circumstance. For example, Business is one of the top populated degrees at both schools...#1 in fact in terms of number of students at each.

Wanna see how the top ranked undergraduate Business Schools in VA fare?

Let's see:

http://www.businessweek.com/undergraduate_mba_profiles/bschools/rankings/index.html

Top 50 Business Schools (DC/MD/VA only):

2 University of Virginia (McIntire)
14 Georgetown University (McDonough)
15 University of Richmond (Robins)
25 College of William & Mary (Mason)
32 James Madison University
38 University of Maryland (Smith)

Wait...I see UVa, W&M, JMU but....no VT?

Apparenltly I am not the only person in the world after all. But to be fair, now you can pull some football ranking and tie this up. But since I have no dog in this fight (but find its hilarious to see "the VPI booster" go apesh1t) it won't much matter.

Good day.

Actually I am surprised at how highly regarded Richmond seems to be. Does Washington and Lee not have a business undergrad?

I'm happily paying the extra $12,000 it's costing us per year.

Why when he could have attended George Mason for much less?

That, too, was a joke.

What about Longwood? It doesn't get the respect it deserves here.

You joke but when we toured GMU, I drove the long way around the beltway so the school would seem further away. Being the braniac he is, he figured it out. Silly rabbit.

...don't they still have an active Klan on that campus.

That was a joke too. Seriously, calm down.

At least he heard of George Mason. My kids still think it is a high school in neighboring Falls Church.

They do - my pops was a "Commerce" grad for W&L in the 1950s.

He's still alive now, but probably would agree with you not only that George Mason is much better than Virginia Tech and/or James Madison University, but Princeton too. Of course, he'd have no idea what you're talking about because he mixes Pepto with Red Bull and Vodka to get to sleep.

My kids aspire to go to colleges where their college's team games are televised and where strangers high five them because of the school sweatshirt they're wearing.
