[quote=Anonymous]My brother and I grew up in Virginia. We had the same amount of college savings. Mine covered four years of undergrad at UVA. His covered two years at Duke (this was 20+ years ago - disparity could be higher now). He had student loans. I did not. We both went to grad school - he went full-time for two years and added to student loans. I went part time while I worked full time, and also finished in two years. Again I had no debt. We have both been equally successful and earn solid living in our respective fields. We both had very positive college experiences and got a very good higher education. He would choose the same again but so would I and it’s been refreshing to live a debt-free life. Aside from the college savings by our parents, we were not wealthy FYI. Solid middle class. I would choose UVA in state every time unless there is some compelling reason to choose Duke (specific academic program, sports recruitment etc).[/quote]
