[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us view UVA as more of a community college type school.  Sure you could get in-state tuition but you also deal with poverty among the student body and limited resources due to the state’s budget.  There is no prestige and your peers are just trying to tread water.[/quote]

and some of you are really "special" people, thanks for sharing your... hmmm....somewhat unique perpspective.[/quote]

It is the dominant view among parents at our high school.  We jokingly call it CC-UVA.[/quote]

When you try to downgrade a school but the kids that go love it so much they could care less what people say…[/quote]

Yes community college is good for everyone.[/quote]

NP here. I'm just reading this thread, and I find myself very curious about you. Why this level of dedicated trolling? Do you find it fun and/or do you have other motives? Can you tell us a.litle about yourself? Young or old? Parent of college students or not? What is your job? Do you have other hobbies? Do you live in the DC area?[/quote]

DP here. When I was younger, many of my friends attended state schools while I went away to college. I made friends from all over the country and world. I ended up at Harvard for grad school where I met my DH. I moved to NYC and then we moved to DC for DH’s work.

I used to look down at the state school people who never left. They married one another, live close to where they grew up. College was like an extension of high school. Now we are middle aged and I envy their lives and close family relationships. They have multi generational friendships.[/quote]
