lol why would you send your kid to college in Oklahoma instead of JMU? you people have truly lost the plot. [/quote]

Because Oklahoma’s merit makes COA competitive while also offering more programs, sports, etc.  So it’s an option for some who want to go OOS - oh and it’s higher ranked than JMU (132 vs 148).[/quote]

[b]That’s the point - it’s demented to put so much store in going out of state [/b]and on rankings like that. [/quote]

"Demented" seems a bit extreme.   
Some people WANT a change of scenery.    Going to  a school where 40 other kids from your class, plus dozens of others that you know from church, out of school ECs, etc.  isn't what everyone wants.[/quote]

Some VA schools are large enough you hardly if ever run into, never mind see across the way, other kids from hs, church, ECs, etc. This is the case for my kid at UVA. [/quote]

[b]I wouldn't know because my kids didn't go to in-state schools. [/b]  But talking with friends with kids at in state schools, they often run into old classmates and such-living in the same dorms, joining the same clubs, going to the same parties...  The ones I've heard of are specifically at Virginia tech and JMU.[/quote]

DP.  The bolded is quite obvious.  You've written the same posts before, making these idiotic claims.  It's clear you have no idea what life at in-state schools is like and I have no doubt your "anecdotes" are made up.  My kids attend both VT and JMU and [b]never [/b]run into anyone from their high school days.  They have friends from all over VA and the U.S. and see high school friends only when they're home on break.  It would be great if you'd stick to what you know and stop making sweeping, untrue generalizations about the schools you know nothing about.[/quote]
