Does your child go there? Good experience? Any advice? My DD got accepted to more schools than she thought she would and it's a tough decision. She liked the CNU tour.

My DD goes there and LOVES it! I would suggest going back for an admitted students event, if possible. Great mid-size school with great professors, tons of activities, VERY nice dorms and dining options. If you have any more questions, please post and I'll try to answer.

Good luck!!

How is CNU for science (chemistry, biology, biochem, etc.)?

I'd like to know this too, my 11th grade DS is planning to be a science major. We're going to an open house at CNU next month, hopefully the weather holds up for us!

Meh. We didn't find the area to be "dead." Just depends on what you're looking for. My kids aren't interested in urban schools.

PP here. The immediate area was really devoid of any decent restaurants, nice parks, scenery, culture. I assume that the campus would have to suffice for the 4 years, or drive to Norfolk or VA Beach.

Not sure what kind of restaurants your kids are looking for in college, but luckily mine are fine with Chipotle, Panera, Chik Fil A.

US News says the university has "an acceptance rate of 72 percent and an early acceptance rate of 82.7 percent." So more of you should be getting good news than bad. Good luck all.

Huh? The Noland Trail is next door to CNU.

I was thinking the same thing. While the area is very suburban (reminds me a lot of LOCO), there is a very nice museum with extensive parkland and a water front view literally right across the street.

I went to a similar small school and we had a blast on staying on campus for the most part. A lot of students aren’t interested in an urban atmosphere and prefer the experience of immersing themselves in campus activities instead. Different strokes, and all that.

Ultimately, my child did not choose CNU, but it wasn't an easy decision. He chose JMU, which he loves, but I'm sure he would have also loved CNU.

My daughter was accepted to both of the schools that she applied for and she is going to have a difficult decision to make as she really likes both schools. I wonder if anyone has an opinion: JMU vs CNU? We realize that JMU is about four times the size of CNU, so she is definitely going to consider the differences based on size. I wonder if people have opinions about things that are not easily measured and statistics.

JMU has a far better reputation than CNU.

Newport News is not a college town. There's no cool restaurants/bars nearby. Personally I'd choose Radford over going to CNU.

It's not that it's not in an urban area that's the turnoff. It's that it's in an area with no charm.

+1
In fact, I think the bulk of my college payments are going toward funding those restaurants.
