[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The consequence will be that schools like VCU, CNU and JMU will continue to “gentrify” and become more desirable as students get shut out of VT, W&M and UVa.[/quote] This. My DD is at VCU and we’ve been impressed so far. Nice, bright kids. Good professors and facilities. A lot of the kids my DD is friends with are first generation college or middle-middle class families. Also seems to appeal to kids who want a more diverse atmosphere - the top Virginia schools are very white and traditional/preppy. Not judging as I attended a school like that, just observing. Some kids, including my DD, seem to like a more laid back and diverse atmosphere. I think VCU positioning itself to capitalize on kids not getting in to the top tier schools - they are investing a lot in engineering school for example and other STEM. May also be to attract more male students as I think it leans towards majority female students currently. [/quote]
