[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People get JMU confused with GMU, making the name recognition worse.  B[b]oth in VA and by some fluke not named after a Confederate.[/quote][/b]

Could you tell me which Virginia public university was named after a Confederate?  Here's a list of public and private institutions in VA to help you. [b] And no one confuses JMU and GMU.  [/b]GMU is no. 1 up and coming university in the united states.  It is one of the largest residential universities in the state.  It opened a satellite campus in Korea.  Please educate yourself before posting.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_Virginia[/quote]

I confused the two when I first moved to this area 10 years ago (never heard of either prior to that).  I now have a friend who attended JMU who is a big booster so I think I have them straight finally.  GMU is in Fairfax, hosts concerts and speakers; JMU is the one right on 81.  GMU is a commuter school with strong part-time/night-school programs; JMU is semi-respectable, particularly good education program. Right?
