[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main reason, at least in the case of Virginia, is that the state didn’t grow their flagship school enough.   UVA is too small of a flagship for a state with over 8.5 million people in it.  It’s half the size of its peers and isn’t serving the people of  Virginia nearly as well as it should. [/quote]

But you forgot to add in William & Mary. No State public system has something like W&M[/quote]

Noob here .. can you please let us know what W&M offers that no State public system does ?[/quote]

A $90k small Slac experience at about $38k all in[/quote]

Oh, come on.  My oldest went there and it is not comparable to a “90k slac experience.”  You are grossly overstating it.   :roll: [/quote]

DP…. Can you elaborate?[/quote]

Sure - it’s just a school.  Not some fancy small private that offers more perks than any other public university.  The PP just sounds silly hyping it up like that.  My kid didn’t even especially love it.  He said he wished he had transferred somewhere with more “life” to it, but it was really too late to do so by the time he came to that conclusion.  He also wasn’t a fan of Williamsburg and spent many weekends with friends at other VA schools.[/quote]
