I'd just be disappointed if my kid went to CNU.  Not gonna lie.  With so many other options available for in state Virginia . . . no thanks.[/quote]

Why? What makes comparable options in VA better?  Location, academics personal bias?[/quote]

I'd prefer in a heartbeat that my kid attend any of the following VA schools over CNU:

UVA
William & Mary
Tech
JMU
VCU
UMW
GMU

I place CNU in the category of:

ODU
Longwood
Radford

I know it's gotten harder to get into in recent years, but reputations lag behind reality.  I just consider it to be low second tier at the very best.[/quote]

The question was comparable Universities so you would choose ODU, Longwood and Radford over CNU...why?[/quote]

I never said I'd choose any of those schools over CNU.  I said I consider all of those schools to be in the same category.  Honestly, I wouldn't want my kid to attend any of them.  I understand, of course, that for some kids those are the only in state options . . .[/quote]

You’re new to college admissions I can tell …[/quote]

Indeed, bet the mantra is all of their kids are headed to HYPSM...good for them if it works out.[/quote]

No, the mantra is tier one VA state colleges for us.  [/quote]

So you have put 4 kids through college?  Are they all tier 1 attendees?  Good for them if so.[/quote]

Yes, they are all in the tier one that I listed.  [/quote]

I had two go to UVA, one to William & Mary, and one to [b]VCU [/b]for art.  That's tier one enough for me.

Those aren't all tier 1 but go ahead and make yourself feel better.  Tier 1 in VA is UVA, W & M and VATech Engineering.[/quote][/quote]

VCU? *wince* is Richmond really the college environment you wanted for your kid? /s [/quote]

As opposed to Newport News?  Yes.[/quote]

dogwhistle much? [/quote]

Objectively, Richmond > Newport News, by almost any measure.[/quote]

I mean, yea, seriously.  Beyond that, this is the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest you go to Richmond and attend VCU to get away from black people.  Wow.  Such total ignorance.[/quote]
