100%.

Living in $1.3m+ home with 2.5 kids, people say "our kids will just go to state school," which means apply to UVA.[/quote]

Yep -- they're the smart ones all right.

Look, if a NOVA kid gets into an Ivy or something, then sure you make it work.  But why pay two to three times more for a Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame or Vanderbilt?  Makes zero sense.  [/quote]

[b]Right.  Buying a trendy house to look cool is so much better than buying a top notch college education for your children. Maybe I should forgo our 529 and get me some mom bling.[/b][/quote]

You're being ridiculous.  For one thing. college lasts for four years.  Your family home can last for decades.  For another, UVA is top notch.  No, it's not the Ivy League but it is the first choice for many, many families, both in state and out, who easily can afford to go to a private school.  Why do you think it has a reputation for being a rich kid school?    [/quote]

The networking at places like Duke, Georgetown, and Notre Dame make the extra $$$ 100% worth it.  UVA is OK, but it is just a bunch of kids from VA.  Not much breadth there.[/quote]
