[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who got into uva/W&m/va tech. Ended up at Indiana.  I would say in the 4 years, probably had very few if any classes where they didn’t know someone from the dmv.  Once they got to Kelley it was usually multiple dmv kids in their class.  Upon graduation most of his friends ended up in Chicago, NYC, Boston, Indianapolis and San Francisco., and this includes some of the dmv kids.  Not sure what the poster hang up is on uva and being worldly.  In Kelley, barring COVID times, you need a passport cause they are required classes that have international travel in them.  They take a 12 credit semester class where the school chooses the teams and each team has a west coast kid, east coast kid, Indiana kid, international kid.  Some of us parents have only role in the entire college process. And that is to write the check.[/quote]

That's great for your kid. If my kid got into all three of those schools, we'd have to have a long discussion about the 15k a year price difference[/quote]

Maybe the increase in OOS enrollment is due to increase in VA wealth. Parents are no longer restricting their kids to state schools for financial reasons.

Two of my mom friends said their parents forced them go to UVA over an Ivy and top 10 school. They are still bitter about it and said they won’t do the same for their kids.

Talk about a stretch.

NOVA has skewed wealthy for generations and in fact now has more immigrants and free lunch type students than ever.  All of the data is easy to find.  Google is your friend.

On top of that, the cost of college has long been increasing faster than the rate of inflation.  Nobody can argue with a straight face that, even if NOVA is richer now than it was then (which it isn’t) college still hasn’t gotten more expensive for the average NOVA family than before.

Seriously, where do you people come from?[/quote]
