[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few people spend $200,000 on college. Only the rich and the faux rich do. [/quote]

UVA in-state 4 years is about that price.[/quote]

No. It isn’t. It’s $40,383 a year for instate. All costs included. See here. https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2025-2026[/quote]
so much more than $40383[/quote][/b]
[b][b]That's just for Art and Science.

Engineering is $51K+ and Business also comes close.

Nursing and Data Science al[/b]

Yes, you are the disturbed person who has an axe to grind that UVA charges more for engineering - but without understanding that College of Arts and Sciences is the largest College at the University and that the few in engineering are more than glad (my DS, the aerospace engineer, as an example) to pay the small lab surcharge for an excellent in-state school engineering experience, as opposed to pay $99K a year for private like USC.  I'm sorry you have a twist in your pants about the modest extra charge to UVA engineering students, but your harping in thread after thread is just bizarre, and maybe you should rethink it or spend less time on DCUM, because very few people here care that UVA has a small extra lab charge for engineering students.  The fact that the vast majority of UVA students pay only $40K, inclusive of all fees, for a superior education at a T25/26 school in the nation should be celebrated.  You need to rethink why you need to criticize the added-on engineering fees, because, frankly, your behavior is weird. We should all celebrate in-state options where they are available. Not criticize.  I am grateful that Virginia options existed for all of my children.  And, interestingly, I am a Californian, so I grew up with even greater expectations of what the state could provide in secondary education (including California community college offerings and admission to the UC schools, Cal State Schools, and UC schools). My sister and nieces all took advantage of those programs.  One niece attended community college for 2 years, excelled, and was accepted to USC for small business.  The commonwealth offers the same via community college to the 30-odd excellent four-year colleges in the Commonwealth, but unfortunately, parents in VA don't take advantage of community college as we have/had in California.. They don't even know that their high school kids can take summer college programs to work on, demonstrating to the admissions committee that, if accepted, they could do Ivy-level work. My DS did that between junior and senior years in chemistry to prove he could perform at a college level, which he did.  That's the kind of performance that admissions committees want to see.[/quote]
