[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]Not at all.[/b] 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]

I think you are talking about the guaranteed tuition plan.  You pay more than what someone not enrolled in that plan pays the first year, but you are guaranteed not to have increases in tuition (though there may be increases in fees, room and board, and specialized school fees): https://sfs.virginia.edu/guarantee

This is different that the overall tuition freeze that UVA accepted for the 2019-2020 year.[/quote]
