[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody outside of the DMV has heard of JMU. [/quote]

This is NOT true. [/quote]

I had not even heard of it until I was at UVA. Grew up in DC and literally had never heard of it. [/quote]

Sorry, but as a DC native who is roughly the same age, this makes you sound clueless.[/quote]

Maybe. We didn't have the internet and I went to a top school where no one was talking about JMU. My parents weren't from VA and I didn't have close friends who lived in the VA suburbs. Probably more elitist than clueless, but same result. [/quote]
DP and I was on the opposite end of the spectrum. I grew up lower middle class and college was a luxury. I met DH at a branch campus of the nearest college and we worked and went to school at night/weekend and then went on to law school 4-5 nights a week. 
People need to get out of their bubble or hurt feelings to think we sat around discussing, comparing, researching or caring about colleges, (expect maybe the very top powerhouse sports on TV that we'd happen to watch). [/quote]
