VCU is a comprehensive university that offers just about everything and has a truly diverse student body and JMU is a lot of fun and has D1 sports. CNU has none of the above—and no one’s ever even heard of it.

Where is GMU in this?

Too local. But obviously better in all other respects than CNU.

That’s not how this works.

Why not?

I sense a bitter CNU alum in this thread. Personally I have no problem with someone choosing a no-name college over a top college for various reasons, but it’s off putting to be so combative.

DP. I have no connection to any of these schools, but wow are you arrogant! Who cares what you do or don't "have a problem with"? What is off-putting is thinking YOU have any insight or say as to what schools people choose.

If you have any confidence whatsoever in the kid you've raised, you wouldn't care about the bolded.

You’re trying way too hard.

Go enroll in an elementary research methods course.

You only need to remember the tabulation/counting you learned in elementary school!
