Why not GMU?

What? No it doesn't. Not at all. Quite the opposite.

It reeks of pathetic middle-aged mommies with nothing better to do because they don't have a challenging job.

You sound very stupid. UVa alum?

Stop proving her point.

You too? :(

The assumptions she makes are baseless and demonstrate a disconnect from reality so severe I'm surprised she's able to type a coherent answer.

Ah yes. Everyone who is calling you out is just stupid, PP. All delusional. Listen-the PPs are pointing out that you (in the general sense if you aren’t the one yapping about low quality students) must be a loser to come on a parenting forum and diss an entire school and say the kids are “low quality.” It does scream “I’m insecure and have nothing better to do” whether it’s trolling to get a rise out of people or an actual belief.

I wasn't/haven't even been the one calling kids "low quality". Though I do agree with the premise that there are different levels of intellect and that UVA is low on the totem pole, I haven't ever said the words "low quality" verbatim.

Anyone who thinks UVA kids are low on the intellectual totem pole is herself low on the intellectual totem pole.

On average they really aren’t the brightest bulbs. It isn’t Princeton, and that’s okay.

Oh wow, sick burn :roll:

It’s like talking to infants.

It's mostly because it's boring to go to school where you live. GMU also has a lingering reputation (in the NoVa area) as a commuter school. In reality, it's a very good school with a ton of relevant programs and great integration with local employers.

lol. and no, double Ivy alum, who values the great opportunities that the Commonwealth offers for higher ed. Both of my children went in-state VA. UVA kid is now at Oxford and applying to T8 law schools. GMU kid went to work immediately out of GMU for Google. Very happy with in-state schools ... but continue bashing away if that makes you feel superior.

+1
Susan needs to get a grip and come to terms with the lack of intellect of UVA students obvious to everyone but UVA students. Stop pretending your public community college pipeline is all that. It isn't. Please realize this sooner rather than later to save yourself from embarrassment.

I went to GMU and being as I’m the highest intellect and income on DCUM I’d say it’s a great school

What’s funny about this thread is that the kids I know who go to GMU are hardworking, driven, securing internships and working hard in them - they don’t have the time or inclination to engage in the type of bickering seen on this thread. The inane bickering against GMU makes me like the school more, not less.

Agreed. A lot of parents limiting their children’s potential.

Potential doesn't mean paying for them to move far away and party for four years.

Sending your kids away to college is for the privileged few. Most people can't afford out of state.

Here’s a direct example. It can’t be that your kids are getting a good education that isn’t available at GMU either great networking opportunities in a new place. No, they’re just “party[ing] for four years.” This is the mindset of abusers who are jealous of their kids.

No one said that you can't get a good education at another school, just that having them go to GMU doesn't limit their potential.

BTW, my kids don't even go to GMU. But, what you are stating is ridiculous. Kids can reach their potential whether 10 or 100 miles from home. Living far away from home isn't what makes them reach their potential.

I'm not jealous of my children. I want great things for my kids, but going to school 100 miles away doesn't mean it helps them reach their potential.

You're weird.

Living far from home does help kids grow in a way that kids who stay home don't. It isn't quantifiable by an internship or a job but it certainly makes a person more interesting as an individual if they ventured out of their comfort zone/home area. That't indisputable.

[Anonymous]

OP, if it's right for your kid, why do you have to be the self-appointed champion for GMU? Your mindset and approach seems so desperate.
