[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster who originally said[b] W&M was pricey for in-state tuition. [/b]I still think that. I also didn't say that it was the most expensive school out there or that it wasn't worth it.  If one of my kids wanted to go there, I'd happily pay.

Out of curiosity, I looked up Michigan's tuition and fees, which are $18,346.  W&M's tuition and fees are $26,456. UVM's tuition and fees are $19,996.  All exclusive of housing, of course.[/quote]

What is peculiar about W&M fees compared to the other VA publics is a $1 284 a semester “auxiliary fee” charge and a $1,204 a semester fee for “intercollegiate athletics” which adds up to $4,084, hence the surcharge over, say, UVA. I asked about that because DD has no interest in “intercollegiate athletics” but they were firm it had to be paid.[/quote]

Many schools are now passing on the costs of NIL to their students. At least W&M is up front about what it’s for and doesn’t hide it?[/quote]

The state requires public schools to publish fees.  All state four year colleges have intercollegiate athletics fees ranging from $732 at VT to $4,186 at VMI.[/quote][b]

UVA does not have an intercollegiate athletic fee. https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2025-2026#:~:text=Student%20Health%20Insurance:%20All%20students%20at%20the,the%20comparable%20plan%20criteria%2C%20the%20student%20will[/quote]

No they just lie about it and hide it under another fee [/quote]

Of course they have this. [/quote]
