[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fantastic school.  $40K for instate tuition is too high.[/quote]

That includes everything, Tuition, fees, room, board, books and travel.  [/quote]

PP here - still too high. UMD tuition, fees, room + board is ~ $25K[/quote]

W&M isn't competing with UMD for students.  Not a problem.  [/quote]

[b]The real competition is with UVA.  UVA is slightly cheaper COA for first year, but charges more for some schools once you enroll in your 2nd/3rd years and has the usual tuition increases each year. W&M commits to a tuition freeze (so whatever tuition you paid first year is the tuition you pay for all 4) and doesn't have the specialized schools higher costs.

[b]UVA also has the tuition freeze. When DC started there in fall of 2016, tuition was $8K per term and that's what we are still paying in fourth year. [b] But you have to sign up for it[/b] (somewhere in the paperwork they send).[/quote]

Do you pay more initially to have the tuition frozen? [/b] (I imagine you would otherwise wouldn't they just advertise it as their price?)  W&M just has it as the general default for everyone.[/quote]

Not at all. Just checked off the box. So fourth year student living off campus (no car, reduced meal costs, sharing cheap apartment with three others) is $8K per term for a total of $16K for tuition.  There's also this.  https://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/uva-accepts-state-s-tuition-incentive-rolling-back-some-increases/article_1e11c716-5dbc-5ec7-b0e3-e515388aebad.html[/quote]
