because apparently some people value oos experience and are willing to pay $$$ for it. |

why would this be a joke post? I don't feel like there's an "obvious" answer. Wisconsin overall is a better university, but I would give VT's engineering program the edge. Especially given the cost differential. Most would prefer Madison compared to Blacksburg, but is it $100K better? I guess that is something OP would have to think about. |

DP. Wisconsin is not "overall a better university." How silly. And you have no idea what "most" would prefer. My kid had this choice, along with several other schools and chose VT. Very happy there. |

| I have a kid at VT who loves it. One thing I notice about VT is that the kids are super smart, but down to earth. There is also the Corps of Cadets on campus which i think raises the self discipline a notch for everyone else. I mean, if you go to a 100-level class and there are other students your age in military dress who are saying "yes, sir" and "no, ma'am" to the professors and doing very well in class, I think it raises the game for the other students, as well. My student was already a disciplined student, but is even more so now, but is still down to earth and fun. That's a VT student. Super smart, but down to earth. |

Def V Tech. Unless kid wants to get far away from VA. WI is fun. Choose Tech for Eng otherwise. |

In state, period. No reason to pay more when you have a great school.
Why is anyone even asking this question. With college costs skyrocketing, if you live in a state with a good, or great flagship, choose that hands down every time. Thank me later when you have less debt. |

+1 and I think Wisconsin is a great school for now but would be worried about the state of higher Ed in WI long term. |
