[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] UVA will always be a top tier school not just for those in the state.  Virginia Tech has built a reputation outside of Virginia as well.

William and Mary is the overpaid country club that nobody outside of town actually thinks is a status.  I’d send my kid OOS before sending my teen here.

Sorry, this makes no sense. As a college professor, I would much rather have my kids go to W&M. The education is top notch and in every way comparable to elite private colleges with outstanding advising, research opportunities, and support for undergraduates. It is also what many of us consider to be the ideal size.

I was thrilled when my oldest was accepted to both UVA and W&M as well as a couple of US News top 10s. He chose UVA because the combination of strong peers + instate tuition is hard to beat. Of course the peers are a step higher at a few other schools in the country, but is it worth the difference in tuition? Not for our family!

I hope my current high school junior has the same choices and I sincerely hope he chooses W&M. [/quote]
