[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean all of these schools have those things. JMU/Harrisonburg is considered pretty rural but there’s of course grocery stores, shops and a cute little downtown scene with lots of up and coming restaurants.

If she wants some more urban environment, she may want to consider something like Pitt or U South Carolina. [/quote]

Have you been to Harrisonburg? it's rural, but the city has every chain restaurant known to man and every major chain store in the United States. It's also close to Shenandoah and Massanutten, so definitely a lovely area, and your kid will be comfortable there, and only about a 2.5 hour drive from DC to come home, however, in terms of academic strength, I would put Penn State the best, then Vtech, then JMU last. however if you are looking to save money and be in state especially for engineering vtech is probably the best option, however i will warn you its not been easy to get into any of these schools including jmu as there are too many kids going to college.

also Pittsburgh isnt' that more urban than Harrisonburg, everything shuts down after 12, if i was picking between UPItt (which isn't suggested) and the other 3 i would pick the va schools or pennstate.[/quote]

???
Isn’t more urban?
Do you want to compare museums between the two cities? The performing arts scene? The major concerts that come through? The architecture? The density of downtown? How about the major league sports teams??

Re: closing down after 12 in Pittsburgh. Nope. Bars open. Clubs open. Plenty of options to go eat after a bar or frat party - easily until 2:30am, and El Jefe’s until 4am.

Pitt is not right for everyone, but saying it isn’t much more urban than Harrisonburg is so incorrect, it’s almost rage-baiting.[/quote]
