Ah, but there are the rednecks, the traffic, the rotting infrastructure and the provincial world view. And I would never willingly send a child to a public university for undergraduate studies.

Funny. I had the opposite feeling when i moved to VA. Arlington is like San Francisco when compared to the part of Rockville I used to live in... Lots of rednecks in Mont Co...none that I can find here....

Yes the demographic in Arlington isn't the same demographic as Rockville. Apples-to-apples comparisons always help.

Then there's everything east of Rock Creek

If my child really wants, qualifies, and gets accepted, I'll pay out-of-state rather than live in that state. It's probably fine to live there if you are white, heterosexual and conservative, but otherwise, I wouldn't do it. While I understand that NoVa has a lot of racial variety and is more liberal, far too many laws and political games come out of RoVa to make me feel comfortable living there. There's a lot more RoVa than NoVa and they've shown that conservative, sexist and racist policies/laws are very likely to be pass even in the 21st century.

This idiot obviously hasn't been around much...conservative", "sexist" and "racist"? Where don't these issues exist? Just in Virginia? give us all a break....

As a card-toting liberal, I can say you are exactly the kind of intolerant moron that makes me embarrased by the level of public discourse in this nation. Stop making snap judgements based on stereotypes. Stop the hate.

For Virginia kids who (a) can get in, (b) want to go, and (c) "fit" there, UVA is a terrific option. But those are some pretty meaningful conditions (and unknowable until HS at the earliest)....

THIS.

It's not that smart to base a decision on where your forever home will be when your kid is 4 considering all these conditions.

We thought it was worth moving to Virginia for the chance of UVA. Our kids ended up at top 50 colleges out of state. No regrets.

Top 50? Isn't that setting sights low when you consider there are 50 SLACs and even 15 or so regional colleges that clearly rank above the U of Florida?

As a Top 50 National, Florida's peers are Penn State, Wisconsin, Miami. Top 50 SLAC is Furman, Gettysburg, DePauw - you think THOSE schools are of comparable caliber?

They are as if not more selective, so yes.

Why the vitriol against an entire state? We're VA residents, consider ourselves very tolerant, and live in a tolerant community. Plenty of redneck types everywhere, including MD. And plenty of enlighted people in VA.

It's hard to get in though.

This is a free country. If you are liberal, live in MD. If you are conservative, live in Va. Case close.

You sound like a narrow-minded idiot. Why not widen your horizons just a tad.

The NVCC preference-guaranteed admission programs for UVA and W&M set impossibly high GPA requirements -- so high that only a few students qualify each year. By contrast, W&M admits a large number each year from Richard Bland Junior College, which W&M operates (and charges peanuts tuition).
