[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA OOS (around $70k/year, all-in) vs UF (honors, FWIW) in-state.

UF would obviously be far less expensive - instate tuition &lt;$10k.

UVA is well-respected, especially in the mid-atlantic.  While UF is a pretty highly ranked public, I'm just not sure.  Looking for opinions...

UVA is more than 70k. Add the Florida in-state tuition to the 70k and you have what it costs — 80k, or more depending on major. But you would know that if DC was actually choosing between these schools.[/quote]

With DCTag and the major choice, it's around 70.  Nice attitude, though.  You seem a little jealous.[/quote]
It's 90, and 80 with DC tag for CS, which is part of Engineering and higher tuition and fees. Not jealous of people who can't read:

BACS is 10k less than a BSCS.  [/quote]
So you would pay 30k more per year so your kid could take computer science “light” at UVA? Huge mistake.[/quote]

It's not really CS "light" - just different requirements (e.g. language in place of physics, diff eq, etc.).  The BA requirements are perfect for my student's interests.  McGill does something similar, so it's not uncommon

Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone is so pedantic and rude.[/quote]
I assure you that recruiters don’t think of it the same. But I suppose when they are polite in their refusals you would ascribe it to “bad luck” — certainly not rudeness. You undoubtedly think yourself clever to pay 10k less for the “same” CS degree. But sometimes you cannot have your cake and eat it, too. I know you are the type who thinks you can — such as your dream DCTAG and Florida in-state scenario — but reality is a stubborn thing.[/quote]

I actually have a BSCS and I hire people.   No one cares about the distinction.  If anything, I appreciate the additional requirements of the BA track.  If you think it's somehow comp sci "light", then you're highlighting your lack of knowledge.

Since you are so clearly clever, getting a degree in computer science and all (back when nobody who is anybody in the field got such a degree), you should do a community service and proclaim your insight to all the UVA parents who are paying the extra ten grand: I have saved 10k because I am only paying 30k more than I could be at UF![/quote]

DP.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but think that you should pay a $30k/year premium for being an a**hat.[/quote]
