[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you aware the OOS students are paying $20,000 + more each year? [/quote]

More like [i]40k[/i] more. One of the two most expensive oos schools in the country. Want more Virginians? Pay for it. Vote for it. Or quit whining. oos students are funding your school...[/quote]

It won’t make a difference. UVA should be sufficiently large enough to handle virtually all of the very top students in the state.   It isn’t and therein lies the problem. [/quote]
Virginia can try to be more like Michigan but that won’t be a solution; Virginia will end up more like Wisconsin if it goes that route — a fine school, but not a school oos students would be willing to pay private school tuition for. [/quote]

I guess then that UVA doesn’t quite have the “cachet” that some think it does.  Michigan, which has the highest tuition for OOS students in the country, has no problem filling its classrooms. [/quote]
It certainly won’t have the cachet if it lets in 15k more kids![/quote]

In other words it’s no Cal, UCLA, or Michigan.  Those three schools all have cachet and at least attempt to serve the top students in their respective states.  UVA seems to want to keep many of its top students out of the state flagship.

UVA does not have the infrastructure nor the land to enroll the number of students like Michigan, UCLA, and others. [/quote]

UVA's central campus has 1,100 acres.  UCLA has 419.  UCLA has nearly 2X as many students.  UVA can increase density, just like UCLA did.  [/quote]

Your so desperate to put that UVA sticker on your car that you don’t care if your kids are packed like sardines in their dorms and classrooms.[/quote]

I am not saying UVA should significantly grow.  I am just saying the argument that there is no land is hollow.[/quote]

I think UVA wants to maintain the Academical Village concept as much as possible. Spreading everyone out too far and wide is sort of antithetical to the spirit of the place.[/quote]

UVA could have done what the City of Charlottesville is more or less forcing on it at the edge of campus -- building higher.  The city just approved a 12 story, 580 unit apartment building right next to the school of engineering.[/quote]

UVA and Charlottesville are nearly at war already.  What would that look like if they added 10,000 students?[/quote]
