[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid graduated from CNU Spring 2025 and was in the PLP and Honors program.  They had a great experience at CNU.  I was skeptical at first bc of the size, but really it was big enough to have options for activities and friends but small enough that you didn't get lost.  FWIW my kid ended up double majoring, got the minor in leadership through PLP (which a lot of kids drop out of) had an internship between junior and senior year which resulted in a full time job offer on graduation.  Easy access to professors and advisors who actually have time/interest in working with students.  CNU also just opened a brand new engineering building and they've got a pipeline to Jefferson Labs.  My kid had a great friend group, plenty of social life and it's a really good D3 sports school ie no weekend revolving around the football game.  Bonus is you probably know someone who played on a national championship team.  Hate on it all you want, but for my kid it was a great choice.

Oh and I love JMU and probably would have pressured my kid to go there if they'd applied.  [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for this.  It is very helpful to hear a first hand experience from the parent of a student.  What did your student major in?  How involved was the PLP program and do many students drop out?  I saw a Reddit post that said 60% of students drop out within the first year[/quote]
