[quote=Anonymous]All the VA state schools are fine.

GMU and VCU are large universities with plenty of options.

We have been to ODU and Radford campuses and they are both quite nice. ODU is close to the beach, too - doesn't suck! These two are also rather affordable comparatively.

Lots of people seem to love CNU and UMW. A friend of mine has a child deciding between CNU, Purdue and SLU right now.

Honestly don't hear a lot about Longwood, but I had investigated it online and it seems like a nice place to spend 4 years. Like Radford, I think the town isn't very exciting, but the campus looks pretty self contained. Honestly, I didn't leave my campus all that often - just to go to the mall and big box stores.

The community college to 4 year pathway is another option. That is looking more and more like the path my child is going to take.

That said, Looking at some of the median salaries of the health certification programs at NVCC makes me think getting the 4 year degree is a waste of time and money unless you want to get the doctoral degrees. Get the certs, get into an office, and if they want you to go further, THEY can help with your tuition.[/quote]
