Meh. We didn't find the area to be "dead." Just depends on what you're looking for. My kids aren't interested in urban schools.

Does your child go there? Good experience? Any advice? My DD got accepted to more schools than she thought she would and it's a tough decision. She liked the CNU tour.

Ultimately, my child did not choose CNU, but it wasn't an easy decision. He chose JMU, which he loves, but I'm sure he would have also loved CNU.

Same for my DC last year. Definitely an up and comer and a great option for kids who want a small to medium sized instate option if W&M isn't in the cards.

Also, Mary Washington is what I consider the perfect small school. My kids are seriously looking at it, as well as CNU.

Having visited both with DC last year, I would say that Harrisonburg is a better college town the Newport News. While I was impressed by CNU overall, I wasn't a big fan of Newport News. Form some kids the requirement to live on campus at CNU for at least 3 years may be a plus or at least a differentiator. My sense is that JMU has a lot more going on socially than CNU. Whether that's good or bad depends on the kid.

My daughter was accepted to both of the schools that she applied for and she is going to have a difficult decision to make as she really likes both schools. I wonder if anyone has an opinion: JMU vs CNU? We realize that JMU is about four times the size of CNU, so she is definitely going to consider the differences based on size. I wonder if people have opinions about things that are not easily measured and statistics.

Sounds like solid school - just wish the area wasn’t so dead. And yes, we visited.

My DD goes there and LOVES it! I would suggest going back for an admitted students event, if possible. Great mid-size school with great professors, tons of activities, VERY nice dorms and dining options. If you have any more questions, please post and I'll try to answer.

Good luck!!

How is CNU for science (chemistry, biology, biochem, etc.)?

You didn’t think about this until now? Pretty bright.
