[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GMU - more modern than I thought it would be. Less student foot traffic than I expected, but we could have been there during a lull in classes, I guess. Or maybe just a lot of people drive in and out.[b]It was a Friday. [/b]

Mary Washington - very quick visit, but it seemed to be a charming, traditional campus. Very walkable. Cute downtown.

JMU - has that “big state u” vibe. It felt very big, but not impersonal, if that makes sense. Lots of school spirit, people looked happy.

UVA - didn’t feel as big as thought it would, but still lively. Love the town. Also had lots of school spirit and happy looking people. Saw families with children and people walking their dogs on the lawn area, which was nice.

Richmond - bigger than we expected and gorgeous (like stunning). Feels a little secluded in a wealthy neighborhood. Wish it was closer to downtown.

This is a point about any schools--don't visit on a Friday.  There's the least amount of classes scheduled on Fridays and the most amount of random other things--research team meetings, faculty writing time, advising appointments etc.  So it's the least typical campus weekday.
