| VCU for free is the way to go. Don't over think that part. |

For Business major especially, VCU makes senses as its in a urban setting. VT and JMU are in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, International Business is not a very concert major. Interesting, but you can learn about international business by just reading the WSJ. Go to VCU, do finance and accounting. get some solid technical/financial skills. Become a CPA etc and it will be all good. congrats! |
| Thanks for the responses! My son is more interested in the marketing/sales side of Business than the finance side but it is good to know that any of the colleges should be just fine! |
| My oldest is going to school for free. Don't underestimate the relief of not having that payment, even if you can go full pay. |
| VCU for free. Save the $ for grad school, if interested. |
Wow, so helpful. Why are you here? |
^^ Don’t listen to this poster, who clearly “doesn’t get” a lot of things. |

I am with the VCU-for-free and I've had (non-business majors) at VT and JMU. We toured and really liked it. If you haven't been, definitely go.
And congratulations to your son! I think the Honors College has single rooms, too, if that is something he would like. |
| We love VT and JMU, but you can’t beat a free ride! |
| Jmu is not like nova high school continued. I don’t get this complaint. It has about the same # of kids from each nova high school as vt and uva. Also, all big public Va schools have the about the same percentage of in-state which is 65%. |

We loved our tour of VCU! Hard to turn down a free ride. I think he could get similar jobs with a business type degree from any of those schools.
VCU is an urban vibe though and very different from VT and JMU. Which one does he like best? |
|
Does the free ride include room and board, or just tuition?
My kids tells me the Honors application at VCU isn't due until April? |
Presidential Scholarship so room and board included and letter says automatic acceptance into honor college…application waived |
Nice! |
