[quote=naraht;1599025]Actually, you have to do it by hand. Grab the bracket QUOTE=stuff close bracket stuff at the beginning and duplicate it at the beginning of each piece, and put the bracket slash QUOTE close BRACKET stuff at the end.
OK....thank goodness for CTRL-C, CTRL-V!! LOL

I'm not even sure how it's going to be. Dawn drew it for us at a meeting, but I'm geographically challenged, so most talk of where schools are in relation to others in their chapters is totally lost on me!!

Honestly, I'm not holding my breath. This is an issue I faced 20 years ago when I was first looking at colleges to attend after high school. The problem around here is land costs. To have a viable school, you have to offer all the things a more established school offers, and a major component of that is student housing. Kids want the "college experience" and without dorms, they don't feel they get that. At least that's what my students told me when I was working in a high school. Also, they want the experience AWAY from mom and dad.......which is why kids who wind up at GMU that are from this area end up hating it.....they wind up living at home and commuting. But as for ODU making it as a campus in Loudon County, I haven't looked at it recently, but I don't think they have dorms yet. And getting a kid to look at a school without a long history? It's parental pressure that keeps them away from the newer schools......parents don't think the degree means as much from one as it does from a place like UVa or William and Mary. Same with some of the smaller, liberal arts colleges.

Eastern Mennonite is one....it's near JMU. Liberty is another. Most of the schools in VA are 1) no where near NOVA and 2) way too small. Also, a fair number of them are still single sex - Hollins (all women undergrad, co-ed grad), Hampden-Sydney (all male), etc.....

Yeah....and the second one cuts it really close to Pesach, so I might not be able to go anyway.....way too many preparations with this house and getting up to NY for the holiday. It was so much easier to kasher a one floor condo that it is a multi split level house!!!
