[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC, current college freshmen, really liked CNU and was offered $10k/year in merit aide.  Kids seem very attracted to how new and nice everything, especially the dorms, are.  Ultimately, he opted for something bigger.  I'd say it's a good option if you're looking for something smaller.[/quote]

I hear this a lot about CNU. Lots of shiny buildings and a nice campus, but...where's the beef?[/quote]

This was a few years ago, but the dealkiller for us when we toured CNU was when the tour guides - very nice seniors - basically admitted that campus recruiting was minimal and the career placement office was weak.  The school does have a nice LAC feel for a state university and it seemed like it could be a solid choice for someone with a clear path, such as music education, in mind. [/quote]

OP here. Definitely going to make sure my kid asks about career center, recruitment, grad school acceptances. I freely confess I never darkened the door of my college's career center when I attended, but it should absolutely be a factor to consider. 
I'll report back to this thread to see if there's any improvement in this area from PP's visit a few years ago. 
Thanks to everyone who's contributing to the thread, particularly those that are not just putting in one line bashing comments without any context!  :wink: [/quote]
