[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are many people that would never consider a public university prestigious in any context.[/quote]

[b]And those people are elitist assholes![/b][/quote]

And stupid as well, if you can do a flagship state school at $23K (all in) but privates with the same elite class are at $82K per year, that is one hell of a delta you have to cover in after tax dollars.  Fortunately both of our kids got into the state flagship so we were able to bank the delta to allocate towards graduate school.[/quote]

[b]Not everybody is concerned with the cost and [b]not everybody wants their child to attend a college where 70% of students come from a single state.[/b][/quote]
I don’t get this. Kids tend to hang out with similar SES anyway- likes attract likes. If you’re spending an extra $50K year just so your kid can hang out with kids from Short Hills and Winnetka and Grosse Pointe instead of Arlington and McLean...that’s just plain silly[/b]. [/quote]

+1  and the 67% of Virginians that do make up the class include Questbridge, Low-income students, first generation studies, 1/3 URMS, very poor students, AA, hispanic and Asian and some (shock!) are even boarding school students whose parents live in VA.[/quote]
