[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Setting and size are significant factors.

Athens and Charlottesville are both fun college towns (and there's LOTS to do, ignore the pp who said otherwise), but Athens is a bit more of a headache to get to/from. [/quote]

This is the real differentiator.  The difference in prestige outside of DCUM isn't that significant to make an impact.  I also grew up in NY and knew no one who went to or sent their kids to UVA or UGA.  It really is more regional. We aren't talking about Harvard vs. some other school that is lower ranked, but I'm not going to name b/c I don't want to be insulting to people.[/quote]I grew up in NYC and people went to UVA, but not UGA. Our limited personal experience aren't really valid here and times have changed. [/quote]

I agree.  I just added it as a counterpoint to the poster from NY who said UVA was well-known there.  It wasn't in my area.  It's all irrelevant now, though, with so many kids traveling farther for their schools.[/quote]
