[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS graduated from CNU this past spring.  We were members of the CNU Presidents Circle (Donor/Parents Leadership Group).  I can tell you my DS chose CNU over JMU, MWU, and GMU.  We didn't chase stats, we chose the best fit for our DS.  DS chose to go directly into a job in his field (Major:  French Minor: Linguistics Minor: International Culture and Business); he is has his own apt. and totally supports himself...and is able to fund his savings.  His GF chose to go to Georgetown for her MS.  Lots of CNU students are solid academically, they have to be to graduate as the CNU core curriculum is more challenging than most VA schools.  2 years of foreign language is a requirement to graduate regardless of your major along with many other required disciplines that serve to broaden their mind and help them think for themselves.  CNU is not as conservative as some here would lead you to believe.  OP, I would listen to folks that actually have experience with the school and do your own research.  We visited each school, met with department heads, DS sat in classes, and some professors actually involved DS in French class discussions.  CNU is a hidden gem for some, not for all but for those parents that have kids with a lot of potential and they need a fostering environment to grow, then CNU is a good place to consider.[/quote]

I’m glad CNU was a good fit for you son. This is a helpful post—our DS is looking at various Virginia schools, including CNU. Thanks for sharing your son’s (and your) experience. [/quote]
