W&M above UVA, as well as JMU??  [i] I'll have a glass of what she's having please.[/i]  :lol: [/quote]

I think W&M is perceived by some as being more...(for lack of a better word) intellectual (in a grind sort of way) than UVA. This seems especially true among the teens/young adults I know. I don't rank it above UVA, but it doesn't surprise me that someone might.[/quote]

Let's not confuse [b]boredom [/b]with [b]intellect[/b].[/quote]

What I'm saying is that W&M seems to have a reputation of being [b]boringly[/b][b] intellectual[/b].[/quote]

True, without the luxury of grade inflation WM students have to spend more time studying, so less partying. Not sure how that makes it a "lesser" school than UVA Or JMU (??).

As for the original debate, a pre-Vick you could get into tech at lunchtime, JMU was perceived as more selective. Post-Vick tech has become more selective and many of the non-engineering programs have dramatically improved their reps.

From the family and friends that went to both - tech is great for engineering, but is a tough, cold feeling place. JMU is a good time on a pretty campus. I get iced reports from tech grads, great reviews from JMU. Return on investment is much higher at Tech, but I would expect the student to have to have a pretty strong personality to avoid disappearing.[/quote]
