[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone speak to the student diversity of the Virgina schools? I don't mean the diversity you simply see, but diversity of viewpoints, interests, richness of programs and student activities. I would really like to pay in-state tuition, but also see college as a time to get outside of the world you've been living in and try on new perspectives. Out of state anywhere seems a better option for thatkind of change. Which Colleges draw more  fiercely questioning students, not simply high achievers? Thanks for sharing your perspective.[/quote]

How does one measure "fiercely questioning students"?[/quote]
One doesn't. It's a request for perception or experience. Is there a predominant culture (say: focused on preprofessional or Greek life, etc.) or is there a balance and variety that extends beyond suburban HS part 2. JMU looks like a really fun place, but also very status quo. I've talked with profs from selective LACs who say they've seen a change in the past 10 years from questioning to"just tell me what's going to be on the test." So, I'm curious about experiences at affordable VA colleges and universities.[/quote]
