[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JMU grad here with a nephew who's a senior there now.  FWIW, both of us love the place. Like you, I didn't have particularly close relationships with most of my professors, but I also didn't go out of my way to seek them out. I did, however, get involved in several extracurriculars that became my "home base," and my nephew has done the same. Can't speak to the other VA schools, but JMU is big enough that you don't feel claustrophobic, but not so large that you don't encounter folks you know regularly on campus.

OP here again.  I have heard from several people who really had positive experiences at JMU -- which is great to hear.  Not being from this state, I'm unfamiliar with what a JMU degree means to employers.  Not that this is a requirement, but I'm just wondering what JMU's reputation is and whether the name was irrelevant to employers or whether it was helpful.  I know UVa has a pretty good reputation, but I don't know as much about the other Va. schools.

Thanks.[/quote]

As an employer the school is not as  important as the degree. The order of school public reputation is uva,  William Mary, vtech and gmu / jmu. Gmu acceptance rate.is slight less.than jmu. Gnu has really changed a lot in the last 10 years.[/quote]
