[quote=Anonymous]I would pay for an experience that UVA cannot provide--so, for me, as a parent and as a professor, that could mean several things:
1) A competitive college in a geographic region distinctly different. For example, a competitive college in CA, whether in the UC system, Stanford, or a SLAC like Pomona. The University of Chicago, Northwestern, or Michigan in the Midwest. Maybe NYC or Boston. I would not choose a school in the upper south, like Duke or UNC over UVA.
2) A major that is clearly stronger at another institution. Engineering would be one of them. Or a special program like an BA/MD where you are automatically accepted into a medical school with your acceptance into undergrad.
3) A competitive college that provides significant merit aid. You can use the 529 for grad school.

I think that there is a lot to be said for going away for college. However, UVA is an outstanding option for in-state higher ed. I would lean heavily towards UVA with few exceptions, noted above.[/quote]
