Yeah. So have mine. So are we.

AND my kids chose not to attend UVA. Annoying as Fkkk student body. Hardcore striver syndrome. It’s like a bunch of travel sport parent and tiger Moms on crack.

One chose an Ivy and the other one W&M.

I could be wrong, but I think the PP was joking

Someone on this thread with a kid at W&M seems to have a chip on their shoulder

UVA was built in 1819. It is completely landlocked by the town that grew up around it. So it cannot expand further unlike the huge California publics. Nevertheless, there is an entity called the UVA Foundation whose mission it is to buy up real estate when available.

It’s too bad that UVA never developed an additional campus in Charlottesville. Michigan did that many years ago when they realized they needed more land to grow the school since there was a need.

The out of state tuition pays the bills and the state legislature doesn't seem interested in changing that. We have this conversation a lot here.

True. Some geographic diversity in the mix can also benefit the students that go there. I think UVA ratio is a good one compared to other flagships.

In addition, there are other decent public universities in the Commonwealth. W&M, VT, VCU. Even GMU is not too bad.

Don't forget JMU.

But they did. They have the North Grounds, where Law and Graduate Business relocated and are based. They situated research in new developments. They have acquired a lot of land over time.

As an example, UVa bought the former Cavalier Inn, bulldozed it, and now is building a School of Data Science on that land.

You don’t think anyone reading this actually believes you. Right?

NP. I believe them. What part don’t you believe? My husband and I are both alums, along with five other close family members. We have a history with the place, but if my DD were to get in to UVA and WM, I’d probably advise her to choose WM. Just a fit thing.

+1 UVA is a fantastic school.

But my kid prefers a smaller size, less Greek focus, etc. It’s her decision. We will see.

UVA's campus (grounds) is larger than that of UT Austin, which has 2X as many students. UVA has land. That isn't it. However, if UVA was the size of UT Austin, it would 1) have a major detrimental impact on Charlottesville and town/gown relations 2) force UVA to essentially reengineer the campus to add density and 3) lower selectivity and ultimately the reputation.

I heard UVA tends to admit fewer students to keep its selectivity. Well, they need something to justify their $92000 OOS cost of attendance.

UVA admission is nearly impossible for almost all students.

I believe here. You UVA moms are bullies. I picture a bunch of former field hockey types with enormous calves raising future mean girls headed for the UVA sororities.
