| Took my kid to visit JMU recently and they really liked it. We were all impressed with the feel of the campus, the students we met, and the variety of programs offered. Academically, JMU is a pretty good match as well (some of the other Virginia schools would be more of a reach). Can anyone recommend others with similar size/feel/range of programs? Doesn’t have to be in Virginia but within maybe 5-6 hour drive of DC. Liberal arts focus - thanks in advance. |

| JMU and it's vibe is pretty hard to beat for your criteria. I might say ECU, PSU, WVU, Pitt and a bit further, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina and Marshall... |

No one wants to go to a place named "Lynchburg".
They really need to change the name, and yes I know how it got it's name. |
