As someone else posted, UVA tuition is $40K per year in 2019-2020 for engineering. High stats kids can get merit aid OOS. UVA gives very little to no merit aid. |
For in-state??????

You don't get out and see the world much, do you? |
| umd instate is only 24k - tuition/room and board |
VIRGINIAN: $39,772 https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/19-20 |
My kids go to college to study. They can "see the world" after their education. I don't even know WTF that means for students. |
Or they could do both in college - a novel idea. To each their own. My kids grew up in a big metropolitan area and don't want anything smaller. |
wow - good value compared to uva's instate tuition and fees. damn. |
not possible if your kid wants to maintain high GPA in STEM fields - class works, research work, studying takes every min of their time |
W&M is about the same. Luckily, other in-state options are more in line with UMD. |
Even harder to justify not going to community college for the first two years. |
It means going to school with students from all over the country and world; living in a location different from the one you grew up in in terms of geography, infrastructure, politics, and people; learning about and understanding points of view that are different from yours. |
It's not an either/or thing because it's not about time consumption. It's about experiencing a different geography, mindset, population. |
Great try but caveman won’t get it. Kind of a moron. |
out of 4000 Unis in this country, tell me 10 schools that don't meet that criteria |
