[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]generally speaking, if you think you might end up living and working somewhere else, I'd advise going to a shitty national type state school over a decent regional school.  That means I prefer schools like WVU, NC State and Ole Miss over places like VCU, ODU and UMBC.  If you apply in San Diego, at least they will have heard of where you went to school. [/quote]

I actually think JMU falls into this category as well.  I don't think it has the national name recognition that UVa, VT and W & M have.[/quote]

I actually think that's the case for all of them (no national name recognition) except for UVA and W&M.  I went to school in the Midwest and really, none of these schools are on anyone's radar screens out there.  They would have heard about UVA and, maybe, W&M.  They just have their own state schools which they are all consumed about and wrapped up in that these don't really penetrate through that regional parochialism.  Which is totally fine, not criticizing them, we are the same way:  not like we are all walking around thinking about Valparaiso or Marquette or perfectly fine schools like that. . . .just my two cents. . . [/quote]

PS  PP back:  not saying Valpo or Marquette are state schools. . .I know they are both private. . .I was just trying to name some mid-tier-ish schools that tend to draw more from a regional audience. . . . .[/quote]
