[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the UVA boosters never heard of financial aid? Is this a foreign concept to them?[/quote]

Many in the DMV don’t qualify for aid, yet $75k is still a ton of money to them. Why part with $75k/year if you can get the same for $30k? Common sense. [/quote]

Yup![/quote]

Why part? Bc, first year out of college, some kids make $200,000. [/quote]

Eh, it’s not really about the money but I think the experience between a top private and a top public is meaningfully different and if money weren’t an issue why wouldn’t you want the best for your child.  I’ve heard horror stories about the difficulty/impossibility of enrolling in desired classes at public universities and its well known that many majors will require five years of undergrad. And it’s worth it to note that many top firms only recruit from a small pool of top colleges and they’re not going to state U.[/quote]

The best is the college you child will be happy at and successful.  My parents forced me to a small private.  I hated it.  I transferred sophomore year to a large public and much preferred it.  Its not about you getting bragging rights.  Its about where your child is happy and thriving.[/quote]
