[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the first place, they are all excellent schools, better than most flagships nationally. [b]Both UVA and W&M have a history most colleges don't[/b]. I grew up in the private school, expensive private / elite college world, and going to UVA and W&M was very, very respectable. They do have prestige. Add to it attractive campuses and in state tuition, can't you now understand why they are so popular and sought after?[/quote] Doesn’t UVA have an ugly history? In the 1960s they used eminent domain to wipe out the surrounding black communities. Jefferson built the university so that the “sons of the South” wouldn’t go North and be taught about abolition of slavery. It’s not the 1960s anymore where Southern schools fought desegregation but they are slower to change than schools without the history. [/quote]
