[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read all posts, very helpful discussion. So the argument is basically about the money, right? If money is not an issue, people will always choose CMU, am I right?[/quote]

The cost savings is one factor.  Another is this:  do you want your kid to have a normal college experience?  If so, choose UVA.[/quote]

So you define a "normal" college experience as UVA's?  And experiences at other colleges like CMU are abnormal?[/quote]

This is my question too, several posts seem having concern about the experience in CMU. What is exactly the concern?[/quote]

Not sure, but here's a guess.  Is it a normal college experience if half of the student body, and half of the professorate, don't speak English as a primary language?[/quote]

Is this CMU? I can underrated the professorate, why student body? Do you mean half of the students are international students?[/quote]

Take a walk through the CMU campus some day.  The majority seem to be international students or children of recent immigrants.  Very diverse, as they say.  Ironically, the least diverse group on campus seems to be the men's basketball team.

All of this may be normal, these days, for a science and engineering school.  But you'll have to decide for yourself whether this makes for a "normal" college experience.[/quote]

About 1/4 of undergrads are international students. [/quote]
