To be clear, I'm not talking about a student who was accepted at UVA and VT going to Alabama instead.

I'm talking about a student who wants the "big school" P5 football games, etc. experience, who does NOT get into UVA and VT, but gets into in state publics like Longwood or Radford.
Why would I insist that they go somewhere that is not what they are looking for, and pay MORE money, than letting them go to the type of school they ARE looking for, and pay less?[/quote]

Again, you’re kind of arguing just to argue.  One of my kids didn’t get into VT (first choice), had no interest in UVA or W&M, and went instead to JMU.  Great school with everything DC was looking for.  There is a middle ground between the top schools and Longwood/Radford.  Those were OUR reasons for staying in-state.[/quote]

JMU is not in the same league when it comes to the criteria I brought up in my example (UVA vs. Alabama.)
I'm glad your kid is happy there, but some kids aren't satisfied with "middle ground."[/quote]
