When leaving after years of experience in teaching, the schools don't really matter anymore for the most part.

However I would pick VT just for the heck of it.

Also, student teaching in Blacksburg vs. Norfolk is going to be a much different experience.

Troll. VT is ranked #62 nationally. ODU is #156.


Not accurate - according to USNews the MS in Education at ODU ranks much higher than VT....see for yourself.

Op is talking about the ranking for a particular major- not overall ranking.

It probably doesn't matter one bit. Demand for elementary school teachers is very strong, and employment is pretty much a sure thing after successfully graduating, assuming reasonable social skills which adequately support interviewing when applying for jobs.

I’d go with the one that vibes with your kid the best. So, where do they feel most comfortable?
