[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious why everyone thinks that UVA is so inexpensive for in state? Just dropped my first year engineering major off yesterday and our COA for this year is $50K+

Compared to flagship public schools in neighboring states, this is way higher.

Although I love VA schools in general and am thrilled to have my child at UVA, I think the COA for in-state students is overall very disappointing compared to public universities in other states.

Although I guess compared to many comparable privates and OOS publics, it is less expensive.  [/quote]

Because many of the other private schools cost around $90,000 per year all-in. Same with some of the top-rated universities out-of-state. Many of the top SLACs and other top universities don't provide significant financial support to donut-hole families . UVA, William & Mary, VA Tech, and other VA schools are almost half as much. A lot of kids apply, thinking they will get merit because they are top students at their schools, but these schools are full of top students. [/quote]
