[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody is turning down U. of Maryland at College Park to go to JMU.

But if your alternatives are Towson, UMBC, Salisbury St. or places like American, Goucher, or Mount St. Mary's, JMU is really appealing.

It has a flagship public university vibe. It isn't a commuter school at all, it has a classic college campus town environment, sports the students care about, and just great school spirit. The programs are decent, varied and the school offers a modest amount of merit aid to OOS applicants.

Then on top of all that, a huge portion of the students are from the DC area and want to work in DC after school. So most of your friends and recruiters are going to be from the DC area.

It makes it feel more comfortable than going to a school like Iowa State, Michigan State, or like U. of West Virginia (schools with modest admissions requirements in public flagship type of campuses).
