UVA’s campus is average, and Charlottesville is a dump. I know I’m in the majority here on that statement, but I continue to be amazed by people who think Charlottesville is a cute college town.

100% agree on the town. The campus is nice in spots. William and Mary is stunning.

DP. We found W&M to be a very bland looking college.

I thought it was one of the nicest we saw.

I thought W&M was just okay. I give them points for cohesiveness and nice brick buildings, but its campus appears boring and sterile. I’ve been to a number of schools I like better.

and you are the ridiculous woman who said the same upthread about UVA but then stupidly admitted you like only 5% of the colleges you saw. Let's see where your kid gets in and then we can discuss. Oh! NOW you like UVA and W&M because you can save $200k over 4 years.

Did it ever occur to you that these institutions are public and have limited resources? No, of course not, but then you are the the type if poster who will complain if a public has spent too much on a new gym, climbing walk, dining hall or dorms.

Np. UVA has a large endowment. Larger or near equal to several Ivies. Yes, you are correct that it is a public, but resources and opportunities are plentiful…almost overwhelming.

Why do you lie on something so easiky checked? UVA's endowment is 13.1 billion. Harvard's is 61 billion dollars

:lol:
Too funny. Must be one of the "UVA=Ivy" posters.

No, just stating facts when endowments were introduced into this thread. UVA’s current endowment is larger than Brown, Cornell and Dartmouth, respectively. Why don’t you go back and reread.

DP. I don't know anything about anything, but I do know it's the endowment-per-student number that matters. Princeton is an outlier at $4.7 million per student. Harvard and MIT are around $2million. UVA is around $388,000. Which is just above Trinity and Oberlin Colleges.

That's a great number for a public university. But for comparison, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Rice are all about $900,000 per student. Brown, Penn, and Chicago are roughly at $520,000.

But your example - Dartmouth - is definitely among the richest endowments per student at $1.2 million per student.

UVA does great for a public university. But its overall endowment is still dwarfed by Texas, Michigan, and California. And again, the only meaningful comparison is endowment per student. It's the per student number that matters. And the opportunities that come with that.

The numbers tend to get skewed depending on if you include grad students - some top selective schools have a huge number of grad students -

Why do you make fun of someone pointing out the statistical truth? do you bully with falsehoods IRL?

I think you misunderstood - I was making fun of the bolded PP, who grossly overinflated UVA's endowment.

You have a reading comprehension problem.

Good grief, look in the mirror.

Penn numbers are wrong, endowment is about $23 billion and has 10k undergrads and about 13k grad students ---- $1 million per student

Penn is also managed well so their finances are very strong

It is more than that. Endowments are for specific purposes and are given to specific programs and schools. If 90% of the overall endowment is for the medical school, it isn't benefiting undergraduates at all.
