[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my child ended up at JMU or GMU - I would be so upset. Those are crap state schools.  Sorry, but outside of VA they are nothing.  Ugh. [/quote]
Sorry, I have to agree.  I'd rather pay for a private school with better name recognition than have my kid go to JMU or GMU, which no one outside of this area has heard of.  Outside of the VA-DC Metro Area, people think highly of UVA, somewhat highly of W&M, and VT.  While I think all of the VA state schools can provide a great education, when it comes to job hunting, the name of your university matters.  [/quote]
Your child must not be in high school then.  These kids grow up and learn to want their own things (if we've taught them properly).  I personally have a strong dislike for JMU and DH and I high-fived each other when our kids said they did not want to apply there.  But if for whatever reason they loved it and wanted to go, I'd write the check without  complaint because I'll support their decision.  [/quote]
