[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We're Maryland residents so DC will be OOS.  We know we could have paid for a private school for the same cost but DC (who goes to a private school) wants a completely different experience for college and is looking for a big school with lots of school spirit. Maybe if DC had gone to Whitman and BCC it would have been a different story and a private college would be more appealing after a large high school.

FWIW,  Michigan and UVA are also in the running but UCLA just seems to be popular with graduates these days.  And to a certain extent we can see the appeal of living in California for a few years without having to worry about traffic and long commutes.  UMich/UVA/UCLA cost the same for us as OOS so financially there is not much of a difference.  Like any other parent we want to make sure that DC is happy at college but is also productively employed after 4 years :) (fingers crossed!).[/quote]

Your DC will never want to move back east once they graduate......can't say I would blame them.[/quote]

+1  UCLA is in such a great section of LA and maybe two miles from the beach.  The student scene is vibrant and nothing like he/she had in a small DC private school.  Obviously, 90% of the students he will be friends with will be Californians.

Not sure what you mean by not having to worry about traffic.  If he needs to go off campus and out of Westwood he is going to have brutal traffic.  [/quote]
