[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a dog in this fight, as I am not a parent of a CNU, JMU or GMU student, nor am I an alumus. That being said, I would have no problem with my child attending any of these universities.

As to networking opportunities, that really depends on the industry. Not one single referral for any of the jobs I have came from any alumnus of the two schools I graduated from.  They came from me more or less building a network through informational interviews after networking at professional association meetings, trade show, etc.

As to alumni connections, GMU is very well interwined with the economic engines driving growth in the NoVa area, whether in IT, aerospace, government, etc.  and there are plenty of professors you can network off of as well.

I'm second in command of an office at one the international affairs agencies, am fluent in three languages and have Ivy grads working under me.  I guess I made the wrong choice.

Hint for the clueless:  no one gives a sh*t ten years our where you went to school. It's all about performance.  If you can't performm, you're out on your ass.

As my grandfather use to say, put that in your pipe and smoke it.  And he never went to college yet rose to a senior VP position in an aerospace manufacturing company. [/quote]

Wow, JMU must be going downhill if it's lumped with schools like George Mason and CNC. When I went to UVA in 2000-2004, JMU was considered the next choice after UVA and W&M....except for ENG in which case VA Texh is better than all 3.

It still is. Trust me, regardless of how "famous" it is.
