IU or JMU?

^^ oops on the pasting. I can only imagine you are looking at Liberty. Unfortunately where smart, educated people are, liberalism follows.

Good luck with that. Parents are so dumb.

And JMU is in a random mountain town in central Va, not a world city.

I can only conclude that that poster has never been to IU. When my sibling was there, there was a literal tent city of kids camping out for world peace. For months at a time. With camp stoves. And the school was fine with it. IU is liberal!

That's all I need to know. My kid would hate it.

Your kid is against world peace???? Yikes.

Well what’s your point? Your kid can’t tolerate a small portion of a flagship university making a peaceful demonstration for a good cause? That’s wild.

Protests for vague "world peace," complete with a tent city are not my cup of tea, or my kid's. Sounds like something one would find at Oberlin or NYU or Smith. Knock yourself out if this appeals to you. It doesn't appeal to everyone. Moving on...

This is actually the nice thing about a big state flagship. There’s literally something for everyone. Super-liberal? You will find your people. Super-conservative? You will find your people. Somewhere in-between? Yep, that too. I’d rather have my kid go somewhere with diversity of thought than an echo chamber.

That’s not to say there isn’t diversity at a school like JMU—-I’m sure there is. State flagships just have more.

Unless your kid wants to be closer to home or cost differential is significant, I don’t think JMU can compare to Indiana.

Don't waste your energy on the usual troll. Anyone who actually has a student at JMU knows there are plenty of OOS kids - and not just from the mid-Atlantic.

Does IU typically give much merit aid?

Ok. Well, if a state flagship is your cup of tea, good luck finding one with a student population that has a point or points of view totally in alignment with your own.

Nice strawman, since that's not at all what I said.

I had not even heard of it until I was at UVA. Grew up in DC and literally had never heard of it.

Keep trolling. So believable.

Ha - nope, not interested in Liberty either. Plenty of smart, educated people are moderates and conservatives.

Did you live in DC in the 90s? No one was talking about or applying to JMU. I mean DC, not the Va suburbs. I knew one person who went there and they were the girlfriend of a friend at UVa. She was from Harrisonburg.

Actually, what's tiresome are the same trolls who show up whenever JMU (or CNU, UMW, etc.) are mentioned to feign ignorance of the school or pretend that it's not known to people from other states. You don't have to be a "booster" to be sick of the trolls. Too bad we can't post the JMU Parents' FB page here, where there is a whole subsection for OOS parents to discuss transportation and other topics relevant to their situations.

No, thank God I did not live in DC. I grew up just outside of DC, however, in a close-in suburb, and everyone knew JMU and applied there.

Makes sense given that it was the in-state safety. That only proves that in Virginia, high school students are aware of their in-state options. And lol on your love of the NoVa suburbs. Thank God I did not grow up there.

Eh, my DH never heard of JMU until our kid was in high school. We’d lived in Va 20 years at that point. The are lots of college we’d never heard of.

JMU was not a safety in the 80s and 90s. But do go on! You seem to know so very much about a school you claim to know nothing about.
