[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC chose CNU over UVA. He liked the fit better and the vibe. UVA was larger than he wanted as well. 10K was his goal but other than Radford and WM not many schools in that range. He is thriving at CNU and (from my biased view) is a big fish there. He made a great decision. He also wants to be closer to the beach than the mountains. [/quote]

What a bizarre decision, sorry.  [/quote]

You’re a jerk, sorry. DP[/quote]

Preferring the beach to the mountains?  Sorry, that's one bizarre reason for picking CNU over UVA.  [/quote]

That’s your opinion. [/quote]

It’s ridiculous.  That’s what it is.  Who turns down one of the top universities in the country in favor of a no name school based on proximity to Virginia Beach?[/quote]

Holy smokes. In all honesty, step back for a minute and try to understand that your posts are the type that make UVA look bad. Seriously. [/quote]

I am a new poster but I totally hear where others are coming from. I can fully understand why a student would pick W&M or VT over UVA, but I am having a really hard time understanding the CNU over UVA decision. Barring a cost factor (not sure if CNU is materially less expensive), 99.9% of people would not choose CNU. I always considered it similar to a community college. The academic experience and outcomes are very different from the other Virginia schools. I do not think this is snobby at all. It is just a realistic assessment of the differences in the quality of the education.[/quote]
