[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Montgomery County and really like it, MS- age kids are happy in good schools, we like our house ...

but I keep looking at in-state tuition for very good Virginia universities and comparing it with our more limited options in Maryland.  Aside from UM College Park, I don't know that there are really attractive options. And even College Park isn't ideal -- so large, and [b]not really far enough away from home to constitute what I consider a real college experience[/b].

Contrast that with Virginia options ... UVA, William and Mary, Virginia Tech, and JMU ... they all seem so much better.  And the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition is so significant.  I could pay my kids' tuition in state without any issue at all.

Would you move just to get in-state tuition in Virginia?[/quote]

Right, because they won't be able to party all day without parental supervision? My kids are going to attend college from home. There, I said. I am from Europe, and it's very common there, and both DH and I did it. I find American approach to college ridiculous, parents paying tens of thousands of dollars to have immature persons attend party schools (pretty much all schools, compared to where I went to college) thousands of miles away. No, thanks.[/quote]
