[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- I can totally see the peer pressure effect of wanting to go somewhere even a little bit more impressive than community college and I totally get the kids' desire to get out of their hometown. But, dang -- UVA! That is a tough one to get into. As for the first two years being so great at a 4 yr university -- as a parent, I think of those years when you are the youngest and all the drinking and I think those first two years have to be the most dangerous (and for some -- lonely) times of their lives. I don't really put those years on a pedastal. ... and I'm not eager to hand my kids over to a group where 75% of the students are older than they are. But, I guess my question was more about the logistics and the diploma. I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of that route. Wouldn't most people prefer that their kid have a degree from UVa rather than JMU (no offense to JMU --- I support that for my kids as well).[/quote]
