You're assuming that UVA, which has one of the wealthiest student bodies in the country, is full of kids who can't afford to go elsewhere?  Ok . . . [/quote]

Wealthy for a state school. Full of middle class or upper middle class parents who are economically-savvy, perhaps. But there are a number of private colleges where family wealth is much greater - if you don't even notice the difference in cost, you pay for what your child prefers, right?

I don't have a dog in this UVA/Notre Dame fight and I have no personal preference, but I just want to point this out.[/quote]

Yes, Notre Dame has a higher percentage of 1 percenters than UVA, but both schools have among the top 100 wealthiest student bodies -- out of 3000+ colleges -- in the country.  UVA also has one-third of its students paying out of state tuition, which at $52k a year is the second highest public school tuition (after Michigan).  Are you seriously going to argue that UVA isn't a rich kid school?[/quote]
