[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Really appreciate everyone's thoughts. It's not the type of thing you can easily talk about with friends without it being weird. I knew it would be a mixed bag here with plenty to think about.  From this chain, I at least feel validated that it IS a tough choice, but also that it's NOT crazy to go with JMU as long as DC is going in with their eyes open to the various tradeoffs. [/quote]

This obviously is not a major consideration but I think it is fair to think about the peers they may meet too for networking, friendships, and long term partners. I would think UVA would be better for that. [/quote]

DP. UVA alum and in don’t like this assumption the UVA peers are automatically better. My friends who went to JMU had a wonderful experience, found great jobs, are still close with their college friends, and are partnered up. I cannot the same about all of those things about my time at UVA.

My own senior is deciding between UVA and a safety with an even higher admit rate than JMU. People can be so weird about assuming what is the obvious choice. Fit matters and there are good people everywhere.[/quote]
