[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone from outside of NOVA, I thought I'd just chime in to say that GMU is not well-known outside of NOVA. It's basically UVA, VaTech and W&M.

[b]Would you recommend someone attend a CalState over UCLA?[/b] That's basically the equivalent of what is being suggested here.

Unless it's much more affordable, I don't see how choosing GMU over UVA makes sense.

That being said, a computer science degree from basically anywhere will get you a job these days. So, if it's a question of going into debt for UVA vs a big scholarship at GMU, maybe GMU makes sense.[/quote]

Incorrect.  California has a three tier system - the U.C. schools, the Cal State Schools (which are supposed to be more tech. and locally oriented for skill-sets) and the community college system, formerly called junior colleges. VA has only a two-tier system - the four year universities all funded by the state (except for UVA), and the community colleges, also funded by the state.  There is no equivalent to the Cal STate system in Virginia.[/quote]

W[b]hat do you mean by "except for UVA"?  [/quote][/b]

UVA has sufficient endowment now to run itself now, so does not receive funding from the state of Virginia.[/quote]
