[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Are you confusing W&L with Willam and Mary? I don’t think many people associate W&M with a country club vibe…[/quote]

Probably. W&M is a nerd school (in the best possible way) and a great place for really smart kids to get to be around other really smart kids that are focused and driven. UVA is more country club than W&M, but W&L has them both beat on that vibe by a long shot.

A lot of people also don't go to college for status and could not give a shit about impressing people with where they spend four years of their life. Outside legal, high-end consulting, and finance, most people do just fine without a T20 degree or having to tell people where they went to college within five minute of meeting them. DC and DCUM just have a much larger pool of people who want others to be impressed by their name brand university than most - probably same for NYC and places where lawyers, consultants, and finance bros gather.[/quote]

UVA a country club? Uh, no. You are showing your ignorance. [/quote]
