[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asked a few months ago but looking for possible fresh crop of responses.
Took my son back to Bridgewater again today (2nd visit) and he really likes it. 
Some folks in my circle have told me this school has a poor reputation. 
We are not from around here so looking for feedback? Hoping some have personal experience.
His GPA is 3.6, sat is 1360. I'm sure he could easily get in. 
Thanks very much.

He could probably do better, but he could get some merit aid @ Bridgewater.[/quote]

Thanks...this is kind of the thing. He really wants to try to get through undergraduate with as little debt as possible. Bridgewater basically is telling him that he will pay very little to go there--(he is an athlete as well).  Not a free ride, but very little annually (like in the couple thousand dollar range).  He wants to get his masters in nursing after undergrad, so wants to go somewhere where he can get a good (obviously not ivy) degree and graduate with little debt to ease the cost of his advanced degree.

So with that said, he likes this school, but a few folks have said "dont send him there...bad rep" or "dont send him there--all the kids who did awful in school from my hometown go there".  That makes me concerned.  I did research but nothing I see makes it look like a kid who did "awful" in school could get into Bridgewater--the acceptance rate is not any lower than JMU for instance (where one of these people who is saying this to me went to school). I'm so confused.[/quote]
