[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Mary Washington grad (and UVA medical school grad), I find this thread to be ridiculous.

Look, we are incredibly lucky that there are so many schools in Virginia where a student can get in-state tuition and an excellent education. I thrived at Mary Washington and really found my niche. Having attended UVA for medical school, I am pretty certain I wouldn't have enjoyed it as an undergrad. I needed a smaller liberal arts type experience and I had no interest in greek life or sports, etc. But other people do! And that's okay! There is literally a fit for almost everyone in the state. We are so lucky to have these options, people.[/quote]

The point is, I might ask why Mary Washington?  You have an answer:  I wanted a smaller liberal arts school.  But I would not ask the same question of someone from VT, UVA or W & M.  [/quote]

Of course, one could. There are plenty of reasons to choose tech or UVA or W&M and if one wanted you could find reasons to justify attending or not attending any school.

I think the PP's point is that we are lucky in Virginia to have so many excellent options for college for our kids. And I completely agree with her. We moved here from California and it's like night and day in terms of schools and support for colleges. I have a kid at UVA, a kid at Tech and a kid at GMU. All three of them are getting fantastic educational experiences. I agree with the PP. We need to do less judging and more thinking about what's right for our own kids.[/quote]
