CNU vs Roanoke

[Anonymous]

Trying to decide and torn between CNU and Roanoke. In-state but cost isn’t an issue. You have to choose the private college, right?

Why choose the private? Just because? Have you visited both?

We looked at both, chose CNU. Bigger, nicer facilities, closer, less expensive, more likely to still exist in 25 years. Roanoke seemed very small to my teen. Similar to U of Lynchburg. I thought the RC campus was cute, but I liked the Newport News area better than Roanoke.

Is Newport News safe? Roanoke seems like a cute mountain town which is more appealing than Hampton Roads urban sprawl.

The part of NN near CNU is safe.

Students in any town or city should be aware of their surroundings esp at night.

Are you aware of the history of that neighborhood?

Yes. And nothing in that URL makes CNU unsafe.

So we should close the university?

That’s not my point. Were the actions taken to create CNU ethical?

They could require a service trip to a diverse neighborhood as part of orientation.

OMG. Should we discuss virtually every university in the country and their "ethics"? Go away.

If you can’t offer a serious response maybe you should go away.

I’m imagining them bussing 900 freshmen to some “diverse neighborhood” during freshman orientation. What would you like these 18 year olds to do there? Pick up trash? Play with the children? Teach those diverse residents about Virginia history? Make sandwiches? You sound kind of racist thinking that the students need to be forced to do a service trip to learn about diversity.

Who said it’s about learning diversity? Maybe it’s a form of giving back to a community that was harmed. I’m sure the students could give this project more thoughtful consideration than your apparent limited creativity.
