Yes that’s the “mindless game” point. The real point was a pp was repeating what another pp said, stating as fact and then drawing out the s when she falsely stated that UVA engineering tuition is $40k. It’s not.

No, that would be William and Mary, which is much older. |

So much mis-information. Here are the in-state and out of state costs for 2081-2019 tuition, fees, room and board for engineering (does not include transportation, books and personal):
UVA: 35,354 and 61,920 VT: 24,554 and 42,842 UMD: 25,983 and 49,020 Pitt: 32,258 and 47,168 Purdue: 22,072 and 40,874 GA Tech: 24,308 and 44,904 |
Why is everyone freaking out? Comparing by tuition is a dishonest game, that’s not what you’ll pay. Tuition AND FEES are re-set yearly. PP’s link has the cost of attendance for UVA 2019-2020 per school at UVA. You don’t just pay the tuition. |

UMD all-in (regardless of college it seems) = $27,318
https://financialaid.umd.edu/resources-policies/cost-attendance UVA all-in (engineering) = $39,772 https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/19-20 |
Your UVA numbers are wrong: First year engineering UVA: $39,772 Second year engineering UVA: $38,772 Third and Fourth year engineering: $37,742 https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/19-20 |
Wrong. https://admissions.umd.edu/finance/differential-tuition |

^^
because PP quoted outdated rates for UVA. The 2019-2020 numbers are out. |
But kids do get substantial merit aid. So lets just drop this. Virginia School Boosters: Yeah, we hear ya. Your schools are good. Other schools have things to offer, too. And UVA's engineering school is SO EXPENSIVE in-state that your $$ argument has no merit. |
$2800 per semester is not that big of difference for UMD. Still a value. |
I think PP's comment on Miami U was a joke. |
Agreed. |
Cost of attendance. So Not tuition. But yes, it is seriously expensive. (and not all of our kids from NOVA get in - mine landed at an OOS flagship ranked higher in engineering and even without merit it would have been comparable.) |
Oops, meant, $2800 PER YEAR. |
|
Everyone: OP wants to know about GOOD OUTCOMES and GOOD IMPRESSIONS at OOS Flagships.
Let's keep it positive. There are many good schools throughout the US that are not the local ones. |
