[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNU is beautiful and I know students who love it. JMU is much larger, also lovely, and I know MANY students who love it. 
If I were thinking about them I would note the size differences which lead to differences in the alumni networks— JMU network is HUGE compared to CNU. Alums helped my daughter find summer jobs, etc. [/quote]

Of course a larger school is going to have a larger alumni network.  But that also means there are far more students that may be seeking their help in looking for jobs, etc. (and there's only so much time/help to go around).  The ratio of students to alumni and the percent of alumni in influential positions that can provide meaningful help can be just as important as the total number of alumni.   [/quote]

PP with a kid that graduated from CNU.  I was randomly in a Walmart with my kid last summer.  Kid was wearing a CNU tshirt.  In the checkout line, the guy behind us (looked like a random suburban dad) struck up a conversation with us bc of the tshirt.  Turns out subarban dad was a CNU graduate and had some high powered job on the Hill.  He offered to connect my kid should he want to pursue work (my kid has a job, not into politics).  Anyhow random incident, but my older VT graduate who pretty much wears nothing but VT swag when out has never had this kind of encounter.  I mean Go Hokies and the fan base is rabid but I think the smaller nature of the CNU population may mean they look out for alums more?  Who knows and I know this is N1. [/quote]
