[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think with their stats you’re looking at Longwood and ODU. Looks pretty solid for JMU and CNU and could increase to be even more competitive since he’s only a rising junior.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for the response.  But are JMU and CNU that much better than Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, etc if the costs are about equal?  I guess I'm thinking ahead to after college with alumni networking, and just name recognition.   If he's working in say, Seattle or Miami and is asked where he went to school;  If he says Kansas people will know what he's talking about.  If he says JMU or Christopher Newport--will people ask "Where is that?"[/quote]

I guess I think about the quality of the school. Even the worst state school in the US will have "name recognition" because people knows states names, that doesn't make it a better school than JMU. It's really your DC's choice. Do they want to go out of state and far away to a huge school? if so, then great. If not, we have great schools to choose from here in VA.[/quote]

I agree. The quality of the education is ultimately what matters.[/quote]

I think this sounds good but somewhat naive view. Hiring official cannot assess the "quality of the education" and can assess school recognition. I can understand where OP is coming from and I agree with her line of thinking. [/quote]
