[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to UVA with about 25 kids from my FCPS. About the same amount of kids from my high school went to JMU, WM, and VT.

In no way at any of those schools is it “High school 2.0” or “13th grade” or “Nova West” or any other derogatory name for this situation.

Yes, I had more familiarity with the school just because it was in state, and yes I had more acquaintances than my friend from Oklahoma. But none of my best friends were there, and college was a new experience for everyone.

Feel free to spend A LOT more for OOS if you’re in love with a school but, there is no discernible difference in school quality and ability to grow into adulthood from an in state school. [/quote]

[b]Well said.  The people who claim "high school 2.0" clearly don't have kids at these state schools or else they would know it's anything but.  They sound stupid.[/quote][/b]

I've asked my UVA kids if they have ever seen anyone from their high school classes.  Nope.  You know there are 25,944 students (including grad) there.[/quote]
