Way too pricy[/quote]

Our DC was offered substantial merit aid that made it slightly less/on par with in-state tuition at UVA/W&M. ( DC didn't go, but was tempted).

The OOS publics we visited:

UVM: Great for environmental sciences, beautiful campus, Burlington is a nice town.

We have family in Wisconsin, so we combined  family trips with a bunch of midwest visits over two different summers:

UW-Madison-- Madison seemed like a vibrant but manageable town--DC was a tad turned off by the students--didn't seem that academically/culturally engaged. I think those things are often flukes and DC is in a somewhat "judgy" phase. But I could kind of see what she meant--the students mainly talked about food and got excited about food.  It was a little weird.  Like in a student panel people would ask about programs and it would inevitably also somehow land on students talking about ice cream and cheese.  And then the tour guide talked a lot about food.  And the student DC shadowed a class with. It felt we were in a skit where everyone we encountered told us where to find the b[b]est ice cream and the joys of "squeaky cheese."

Cheeseheads take their dairy seriously.  It is a point of pride.  And a Berry Alvarez ice cream cone is truly not to be missed.[/quote]
