[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not heard much about Pitt. I know a lot more about JMU and people that have graduated from there.[/quote]

That makes total sense if your are in and from VA.   JMU is a regional university.     
The others mentioned in this string are National Universities.  Virginia has many.   When you leave the area, they are well-known entities.  Regional schools are not as well known.

From US News  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities?int=top_nav_National_Universities

National Universities:

#25 UVA
#59 Pitt
#63 Penn State
#75 Va Tech
#148 GMU
#172 VCA

JMU:   #3 Regional Universities South

Others on that list are Rollins, the Citadel and Barry College rounding out the top 4.

Fairfield University in Conn is #3 on the Regional List for the North.

Flagging that rankings for engineering schools differ from ranking for the entire university.  In rankings for engineering schools, VA Tech is usually higher than Pitt.  Then of course, you can look at the specific engineering program...[/quote]
