UVA worth out of state cost?

DS wants to go south to an academically rigorous school but one that has good sports and a lot of school spirit.

What field of interest? I'm sure you can take rigorous courses at any school.

I think W&M may be unique in this regard, for the right kid.

Depends on the situation. If you just miss the top public in your own state, and the lower options aren’t good, an OOS option can be a lot more affordable than private.

PP seems to believe that if you have to think about things like “affordability,” your child simply shouldn’t go to college at all.

UVA is worth if you’re going pre professional route. Banking, law consulting. Due to top recruitment

Anyone saying no is a jealous viper in desperate need of attention.

But they don’t have a direct admit to the business school! 50% admit rate is a risk if you want business. Go with a direct admit school. Hopefully, UVA will change their admissions and make business a direct admit from high school like nursing.

Many states have multiple good public universities. Why pay OOS fees for any college if one has a good in-state option?

Curious to hear what law firms are recruiting UVA undergrads.

Nope. I am a double Hoo from in-state. UVa is a fine school, but I would not pay OOS fees for any public university.
