[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was an extensive study commissioned by the State Council for Higher Education that asked thousands of recent graduates of state institutions the following questions:

Satisfied with overall undergrad experience?	Appreciation for general education now?	
Satisfied with long-term career goals progress since undergrad?	
Agreeing that undergrad education was worth the cost?	Satisfied with how your undergrad prepared you for the workplace?	
Agree: “I am satisfied with my life”?

If you average the responses to these questions, the highest favorable responses in order were:

W&M, UVA, VMI, UVA-W, VT, JMU, UMW, LU, RU, ODU, CNU, NSU, VSU, GMU, VCU, RBC

I think this is close to how I would have guessed, with the biggest surprises being UVA-Wise being 4th and GMU and VCU being so near the bottom.

This is only state schools, so schools like W&L and UR were not included.[/quote]

Link to that study?  Because I don't believe that "average" for a minute.[/quote]

PP 93-96

"When the percentages for the six opinion items were averaged within each institution, the percentage of favorable responses by institution ranged from 56.7 percent to 73.9 percent.
Graduates showing the greatest appreciation across these measures tended to be from the William & Mary, the University of Virginia, Virginia Military Institute, the University of Virginia's College at Wise, Virginia Tech and James Madison University."
