[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia will open up jobs GMU may not such as Wall Street jobs and certain high paid consulting jobs. If her goal is doing typical taxes yeah I can see your pt. [/quote]

OP here.  I really do not care about Wall Street jobs.  I have many clients who work on Wall Streets and private equity and they will give my daughter an internship as a gateway into Wall Street jobs if she wants to.  My daughter is also a "cheap skate".  She has questioned the cost of attending Columbia University vs. George Mason in the past two weeks.  She realizes that not everyone has 320k in the bank for college tuition.

She asked for my opinion and I've told her what I think but I said to her that she will have to decide herself.  Whatever she decides will fine with my wife and I.

In this case, I'd tell her go to GM, live on campus, and save the rest of the college fund for grad school.[/quote]

Are there no other options between GMU and Columbia?  I would think other in-state VA public options might make more sense--UVA and W&M both have excellent business schools if they were options (I'm assuming if she got into Columbia she could get into these, but I could be wrong).[/quote]

This is the part I don’t understand and makes me think op is a troll.

UVA is perfect compromise for the dilemma.[/quote]
