[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about VCU? Pitt? Penn state?[/quote]

Agree with VCU, it's not just for artsy kids. There are also preppy and sporty kids there.

My personal experiences with WVU is not good, coming from my oldest and a few close friends (both male and female).[/quote]

The challenge with schools like WVU is that a student has to be willing to ignore distractions and remain focused. Yes, virtually all schools have a party culture but WVU’s is fairly extreme. Students who focus do well there. A friend sent his kid there - an accounting major at the top 5 percent of his class. Working for the Big 4 now. The kid completely slacked in high school thinking Maryland was an easy admit (yikes). He did work hard at WVU as a result and had his fun in reasonable doses. My law review colleague is on the WV Supreme Court. Sent two of his three kids out of state because he was concerned about their maturity and their ability to avoid distractions. The one who attended WVU was mature and is a PhD clinical psychologist today. You can succeed at WVU - need to keep your eyes open. This  kind of school was not in my kids’ interest whatsoever but it is an option for some. Need to be focused. [/quote]
