[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to the accepted students! I dont get the appeal of uva oos. The cost of attendance is 95k! So expensive for a state flagship experience. [/quote]

Just stop. [b]OOS cost of attendance is not 95k! [/quote][/b]

Correct - it’s $80,328 for 2026-27. https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2025-2026[/quote]
We looked at UVA carefully last year for our oos kid. The FULL cost of attendance is not that 'estimated' price. Comes to about 85k for year first year. And then for data science, engineering and nursing and many other programs cost goes up to 95k per year. Read the details and don't forget that [b]you may need to add the 4k health insurance that is not included in the estimate.[/b] And travel. 80k is not accurate for oos budget planning. [/quote]

So your family does not routinely carry health insurance?  That is pretty risky. [/quote]

My kids are on Medicaid and it covers only a small geographic area right around where we live. So my kids always have to get the school health insurance. Stanford is the most expensive. About $8k per year. But for most kids on Medicaid, their financial need is high enough that the school usually covers all of part of the health insurance plan.  The cost of the health insurance plan and any financial aid for that is something I consider when evaluating the total COA. [/quote]

Your situation is unusual. [/quote]
