<p>Son has been accepted to all; wants to major in Psych and maybe double major or minor in Bio. In love with Drexel, but concerned about cost (great scholarship and financial aid package, but will still end up costing about twice as JMU or GMU). However, worried about "prestige," academic perception of JMU and GMU outside of VA. Any insight? Decision day rapidly approaching.</p>
<p>Go to GMU, I know people who go there and love it, and if people don’t know the prestige of it then they are just stupid. JMU is a way over the top party school, and I know many Drexel students who absolutely hate it. It is a dirty school with many students not being respected strictly because they go to Drexel and have a very bad reputation. They also completely over hype their programs, especially their co-op. It is also way too expensive for the education received.</p>
