[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easier to get into:

UMW- have one kid there. Does have a similar feel to W&M where my other kid is applying.  Gives straightforward merit aid based on grades and test scores.

CNU- very similar in size to UMW, but way fewer trees on campus if that matters to your kid as it did mine.

It is hard to find schools of this size that are in a good price range.

It’s not like CNU has no trees. Most think the campus is quite pretty. [/quote]

DP - my kid had the same reaction to CNU. Yes, it has trees, but they are not really tall relative to the buildings. The feeling on a hot day was that there was zero shade, no tree canopy. For my really outdoorsy kid it was a big negative. Similar sized UMW and W&M are quite different from CNU in that respect. I know a lot of people think the campus is pretty but it's pretty in a "fancy resort" kind of way, not "historic college" kind of way. People can have different preferences. It was just one of several reasons DD didn't feel a good fit there.[/quote]
