[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people who act like this are certain people who live in NOVA and feel like because a school is nearby, it must not be good.  Meanwhile, [b]GMU is a great school that serves thousands of students. [/b] Kind of like how someone who lives near UMD or UVA or any school most likely would choose to go elsewhere.  Not everyone, of course, but that's a mentality that some have.[/quote]

You got half of that right. [/quote]
Which half?[/quote]

Just ignore the troll.  We are lucky to have GMU and all of its resources right here in our backyard.[/quote]

+1
The Schar School of Public Policy is highly respected.
GMU also has a very good nursing program.
It has been an under-rated school for a very long time, finally starting to get some of its due recognition.

+2. I have a kid in the Schar School program now, and another one in a poli sci program at a more highly ranked school. The GMU program by far is more hands on. They have tons of interesting local speakers and events, send the kids a weekly notice of internship and research opportunities, and the classes the GMU student has taken seem just as rigorous and thought-provoking as the other school's. It seems GMU is very good at helping the kids to be prepared and positioned to get relevant jobs, while at the  other school the kids seem to be navigating on their own.  [/quote]
