[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This ain't your grandpa's CNU.  Our friends' daughter was indeed very excited to get into CNU and is there now.  She had a 3.8 at her NoVA high school and was accepted at other schools.  CNU is a different kind of school, but perfect for her.  The school is very new and very small. Class sizes are smaller than at any other VA Public College and students really get to know the professors.  This may not be for every one, but she loves it.  Students live on campus all four years in beautiful new and spacious dorms.  Almost all the buildings are new and the campus is nicely designed.  
Granted the surrounding area isn't the best and CNU gets called the "Garden in the Ghetto" but the school itself is very safe.  It's also notably conservative, which holds a lot of appeal for some kids.

And to the sometimes drunken poster, there isn't a straight-line US News-style ranking from best to worst of the VA schools, or any schools for that matter.  Sure there are maybe 25 schools in the US that everybody is impressed with, but for the rest. Meh.  Depends more on the kid and what they make of it.

And FWIW, out our son's high school had far more kids got rejected by GMU than JMU.  His high school sent a large group to JMU but only a few, top students to GMU. [/quote]

Ok fun flame bait. But let's be honest. No "top students" go to geo mason.  JMU is no great shakes, nor is VT or MW...but they are all a tier above GMU. According to every ranking of public colleges out there.

Axe to grind?[/quote]
