[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peer colleges or is one superior to the other? [b]Nova is much more expensive. [/b]But UVA undergrad is twice as large. Is the private college worth the premium? If yes, why? Thank you.[/quote]

Expense does not equate quality. Don't confuse the two. [/quote]

Typical myopic public U alum response. :roll: Most of the kids at Nova turned down state flagships UVA, UMD, Illinois, Clemson, Penn State, UNC.[/quote]

The thought of “Nova” feelimg superior and looking down on the lowly publics like UVA, UMD, Illinois, Penn State is so freaking hilarious!! Omg, this cannot be real.[/quote]

NP: Villanova is school with a different feel than big state universities; no one is suggesting they look down on anyone--nor that they are looked down upon.  In this list, if you were coming from Northern Virginia, UVA and UNC-Chapel Hill would likely be slightly harder to get into,  UMD and Illinois roughly the same.  Penn State and Clemson easier.   And the out-of-state tuition at the public schools is a lot, so if you didn't like UVA and/or weren't accepted, Villanova would probably end up costing just as much as the rest--with the exception of Penn State which has comparatively reasonable out-of-state tuition, but doesn't have the same academic selectivity and is much larger.
