[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is OP real? It’s not that hard to understand, especially UVA. UVA is an elite school at a bargain price for families who do not qualify for financial aid at private schools. Add in its historical significance, school spirit, sports, area alumni, weather, and proximity to home and it’s an obvious choice for many.

W&M is similarly an excellent school at a great price relative to similar privates. [b]W&M has many of the same additional benefits as UVA, save the sports[/b], but add smaller class size.

I’d ask OP which colleges they would recommend that offer the same education for the same price with no financial or merit aid. When I run my finger down the USNWR list, I don’t find one. [/quote]

Are you talking sports spirit or sports in general?  W&M has D1 athletics.  They have a D1 football team and D1 basketball.  And unlike UVA, you don't need to attend other sporting events to earn "points" in order to get into the basketball games.  Yes, the revenue sports at UVA have more student support than the same sports at W&M.  But if you are a football fan or basketball fan, you can easily sit in the front row at W&M games.  [/quote]
