My kids tells me the Honors application at VCU isn't due until April?

Presidential Scholarship so room and board included and letter says automatic acceptance into honor college…application waived

We loved our tour of VCU! Hard to turn down a free ride. I think he could get similar jobs with a business type degree from any of those schools.

VCU is an urban vibe though and very different from VT and JMU. Which one does he like best?

Jmu is not like nova high school continued. I don’t get this complaint. It has about the same # of kids from each nova high school as vt and uva. Also, all big public Va schools have the about the same percentage of in-state which is 65%.

We love VT and JMU, but you can’t beat a free ride!

I am with the VCU-for-free and I've had (non-business majors) at VT and JMU. We toured and really liked it. If you haven't been, definitely go.
And congratulations to your son! I think the Honors College has single rooms, too, if that is something he would like.

^^ Don’t listen to this poster, who clearly “doesn’t get” a lot of things.

Wow, so helpful.

Why are you here?

VCU for free. Save the $ for grad school, if interested.

My oldest is going to school for free. Don't underestimate the relief of not having that payment, even if you can go full pay.

Thanks for the responses! My son is more interested in the marketing/sales side of Business than the finance side but it is good to know that any of the colleges should be just fine!

For Business major especially, VCU makes senses as its in a urban setting. VT and JMU are in the middle of nowhere.

Yes, International Business is not a very concert major. Interesting, but you can learn about international business by just reading the WSJ.

Go to VCU, do finance and accounting. get some solid technical/financial skills. Become a CPA etc and it will be all good.

congrats!

VCU for free is the way to go. Don't over think that part.
