<p>I got into the honors program at JMU and received money from both colleges. They are essentially the same price, but I am concerned JMU doesn't have the reputation Delaware does. I see JMU as more of a "party" school, which is definitely something I want, but not at the sake of my degree's reputation. Which would you choose academcially, and then overall?</p>
<p>depends on your major…Delaware is more diverse than JMU…Neither will hold you back from doing what you are capable of…I would take the honors…</p>
<p>From what I hear Delaware is every bit as much a “party” school as JMU and most other large public universities so I would take that concern off the table. We don’t know what your major would be so there’s no way to assess which schools reputation would affect your degree. Frankly, the schools are so similar and attract so many of the same type of students that I doubt it makes any real difference.</p>
