[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief! Yes, GMU has come a long way in 20 years and good for the school and its students. I received a
masters from GMU and it was a supportive environment and the degree has served me well. But make no mistake. For an undergraduate experience there is little that can compare to W&M. The history, the gorgeous campus, the teaching quality, alumni network, student teacher ratio... the list goes on. I think it is a magical place if you are looking for an exceptional liberal arts experience. But I think most people know that already and[b] just like to be annoying.[/b]

[/quote]Or maybe only you see them as annoying? I come here for info. Some of us have kids that could never get into UVA or W&M. GMU turned out to be a great experience for my DS.  He would never have gotten into the other two. Sharing of information is important, especially when you have older, ignorant posters who like to shoot if their mouths about GMU but when you press them, their data goes back 20 or 30 years.  GMU has almost 40k students and is the most diverse public university in Virginia. W&M has only 8k and is more of a driven SLAC environment. GMU is better for engineering, law & economics, cyber security and computer science, and, yes, the students get good jobs before graduation m. A lot of SLACs, like my own, couldn’t say that.[/quote]
