[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--I am worried that even if they go OOS their social experience will be the same as they are who they are, I don't tell them this as it will be seen as negative. We don't meet need. It seems that most schools will offer enough merit aid to meet UVAs cost--so around 50K-UM and and Ivy's being the exception.[/quote]

Each college or university will have its own social and cultural experience. Our student voiced the concern about wanting to get as far away as possible from the HS social constructs. Some of that can be accomplished by the major they select and in some cases it can't. Going to a new state also provides an opportunity to be part of a new political landscape (for better or worse). Our student was adamant about not going to a SLAC where money or Greek life ruled. They also didn't want to be part of a bigger school with greek life. The other part of the equation is what your student choices to do when they go to school, ours was very deliberate in finding people not like their high school.  [/quote]
