[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's basically like a bigger version of NVCC.

Not many people want to pay a university price for a community college experience.

I've not met anyone who graduated from there who would also allow their kid to attend. [/quote]I guess technically I spent four years at UVa and my degree says that, but I took courses and did intern housing there at GMU and would DEFINITELY let my kid attend the Fairfax campus.  In fact, I'd feel they would be physically safer than Charlottesville with its 44 rapes and stalkers and assaults the honor committee covers up.  What is better about a uni experience than a cc one?  For food at GMU's the Globe dining I had gourmet food with weekly luaus which I still often gladly pay the $12 guest fee for when I'm in Fairfax.  At UVa, I got diarrhea the first three times at O'Hill and my gastro wrote a stern letter and my parents complained vigorously, but they wouldn't let me off the meal plan $$$K+.
At UVa, my sorority fined people to attend parties and would send your name to collections if you tried to quit or study.  At GMU, the same national, different chapter did no such thing that I know of.

While I admit Old Dorms/McCormick was a BLAST and an amazing first year experience, New Dorms was filled with the safety school rejects fresh off rejection from privates and had ANGER TO BURN.  Least fun, most immoral/violent people in the state unless bullying is your idea of a good time.  At GMU, the international students give you a free trip back to their country for being their best friend/English helper.  In the E-school at UVA, the international/abroad programs are unavailable/inhibited when you get handed a schedule.

I will say, I am the type who is confident enough to eat by myself, so it was easy for me to date/meet others at both.  I also hosted/got invited to parties at both, so if you are REALLY introverted and self-conscious UVa may be better.[/quote]
