Va Publics with 5-10K Students (other than W&M)

UMW is currently gutting their old historic cafeteria building and turning it into the Education building, so it should be a nice brand new facililty.

Yes - that was a big draw for my D20!

We visited WM and CNU. DS really liked CNU and we were impressed. He got a different vibe from the CNU students but we are struggling to identify it. Perhaps more social or friendly? Hard to tell from just a few hours on each campus. This thread is helpful.

Ummm...$45K for tuition only. D20 received financial aid award letter and full tuition + R&B + fees came to about $60K. But majority covered by grants/scholarship aid then they calculated loans that brought it down to $25K total.

I’ve lived in Virginia my entire life and have never heard of it.

Salem State is in Massachusetts. Roanoke College (private) is in Salem, VA...right next to Roanoke, VA. There's also a Salem College (tiny, private, mostly all female) in NC.

Yes, right. That was tuition only.
I didnt count the loans they calculated.
It still all came out to 37k out of pocket.
DD does have a scholarsip interview at Roanoke coming up.
