[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  OOS for UVA is about $65,000.  Going to Miami will cost us about $42,000 a year so over the difference is about 85,000 total over 4 years.  This would pay for at least one year of professional graduate school.  At this time law school or business school are possibilities but no one can ever predict what career tracks kids take and whether they end up at grad school or not.  Undergrad major would not be in any STEM related subjects.  More like English or Economics.

And DS is very grateful for the 529.  We are the ones that told him he needed to make the decision based on what he finds to be the best fit and not only base it on an overall lower cost for us. 
For all the snarky commentators, we're happy that he is looking at academic rigor and rankings of both schools to make his decision because otherwise no one would turn down the campus and lifestyle at Miami.

We are in the same position more or less.  We said "the difference is money we can spend on your education, be it now at your first choice, or along the way.  this is money you won't have for underpaid internships, an extra semester if you double major, grad school...."

Mazel Tov.  Either way you win.  UVA is ridiculously expensive.[/quote]
