[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main reason, at least in the case of Virginia, is that the state didn’t grow their flagship school enough.   UVA is too small of a flagship for a state with over 8.5 million people in it.  It’s half the size of its peers and isn’t serving the people of  Virginia nearly as well as it should. [/quote]

But you forgot to add in William & Mary. No State public system has something like W&M[/quote]

Noob here .. can you please let us know what W&M offers that no State public system does ?[/quote]

A $90k small Slac experience at about $38k all in[/quote]

Oh, come on.  My oldest went there and it is not comparable to a “90k slac experience.”  You are grossly overstating it.   :roll: [/quote]

Can you elaborate? My rising sr really does want WM. As far as we can tell, it does seem to offer pretty much what the 90k SLACs we’ve toured offer at a much better price. It’s a little bigger ((which has pluses and minuses) but we found it quite similar to the SLACs we’ve seen and actually with a nicer campus than some of them. What do you think you don’t get that they offer? I’m not being argumentative / genuinely curious because we can pay for private and trying to decide if a Richmond or Colby or Bates or Middlebury would really be preferable. [/quote]
