[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if it’s true, your child can’t manage to make new friends at a school with 20,000 other students? 50 is a drop in the bucket at a school like JMU![/quote]

Well I grew up in CT and you couldn’t have paid me to go to UCONN. Some people want to get out of high school and start fresh.[/quote]

You do realize that at UConn, students come from [b]all over Connecticut[/b] (and elsewhere) - not just your high school... right?   :roll:  :roll:

And there are also 20,000 undergraduates just like JMU. Can you imagine if 20 people from your high school are among 5,000 incoming classmates? How do students cope with such horrors? What do you do if you happen to see those people on campus?[/quote]

About this... I went to JMU in the 2000's and over 50 kids from my graduating class went there too (OHS). It was hard. I was quiet and reserved in high school, with a close group of a few friends, but not popular by any means. I felt like that followed me to college - 50 was enough that somehow 4 of them were in my dorm, pledging sororities with me, in classes, etc. The number sounds small but it really felt bigger than that and I wanted a fresh start. And it felt like most of the school was from NOVA, so everyone knew everyone somehow - sports or church or school or families - so it really was an extension of high school. I think coming to the school from somewhere else than NOVA would have been a completely different experience. I still loved it, but that was the part I hated. [/quote]
