[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JMU is a very popular school for my daughter‘s graduating class. I would say it has about the same number of kids enrolling as the university of Maryland. What was the appeal for local students? The proximity? 
I don’t remember any kids from my graduating class going to jmu so I am genuinely curious. Was it always so popular or is it just on my radar now?[/quote]

Good school for average kids.

And there are A LOT of average kids out there who want the college campus experience.[/quote]

So you think your kid is better than a kid that goes to JMU?
The age of the typical undergraduate is the time where they will experience biggest emotional growth in their life. The person who walks in as a freshman is not the same person 4 years later. The goal is to figure out who they are and get to get their undergraduate degree. Your job is to get them there by emotionally supporting THEIR needs. 
Sending them to a place where they can be whoever they want is a gift. You assume your kid is above average. Keep pushing and there’s a good chance your kid will crash and burn. 
It happens every day. [/quote]
