[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Radford was recruiting for a business honors program when my kid was applying. According to the literature, it would have included generous merit aid, small classes and pipelines to good internships. It was also limited to a very small group, I'm thinking 20-30 tops. Compare that to GMU's honors program, which filled two auditoriums at the accept student event.

Yes, comparing Radford and GMU and really any other state school is apples to orangoutangs. I think Redford sounds like a great fit for your son. He may absolutely thrive there and find his tribe. I wouldn't send him with the intention of transferring to a "better" school in 2 years. It is great for the late blooming kids to find their footing and get to know their school and stick it out. They also don't want to view their school as a consolation prize.

For what it's worth, I can't see a kid who thrives in Radford's small, rural setting automatically loving urban VCU or big-10-esque JMU. I can't speak to ODU. [b]They're very different environments. We are lucky in VA to have many different types of learning spaces for different kids. [/quote][/b]

We are indeed.  Thank you for posting. - signed, parent of two kids in the VA system and loving it.[/quote]
