[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? I bolted so quickly from Williamsburg the second I dropped off my kid (also -- single mom).

I scheduled a girls trip that first week in Vegas with friends. Had a freaking blast. I'm still working and there's plenty of life left in me. I'm 38 and ready for this next chapter! I have a trip to Paris planned and I've already sold my Arlington house and bought a low maintenance row home in the city. It's fantastic!

Can your DC still get in state tuition if you no longer live in Virginia? [/quote]

She got a full ride! :)

I am saving her college fund for grad school since she's interested in medicine (I'm a nurse and she's been around enough hospitals and seen me over the years to build an interest).

My good friend just had a baby a few months ago. I look at her and am like...whooyah. Finished over here, sister. Cute baby, but it's my time now! (Admittedly my good friend spent her 20's and 30's traveling and living an adventurous life that just wasn't in the cards for me at the time (Little money, plus mortgage, plus kid who did activities, plus single mom tax of having to handle this alone = struggling).[/quote]

Does is still stay "full ride"  if she loses in state privileges?  The Virginia schools are particularly vigilant about in state verses out of state designations.  [/quote]

PP here. Yup. Not an issue for us, thankfully.[/quote]

Tell me more about this scholarship.  How does one get it![/quote]

It's William & Mary Scholars Award. The award amounts vary, but we were lucky and they came through. We also got a "match" scholarship since DD had a full tuition offer from Chicago since I make under 125K annually. It's public information.[/quote]

I think you should double check. By moving out of state you may have inadvertently increased the cost of your DC's tuition.

"The William & Mary Scholars Award is presented each year to a small group of academically exceptional students who will add to the diversity of W&M’s campus. The broad goal of this award is to provide access for students who have been historically underrepresented on our campus by providing financial support equivalent to [b]in-state tuition [/b]and fees."    http://www.wm.edu/admission/undergraduateadmission/costs-aid/wmscholars_award.php  
(Emphasis mine).

You are hella nosey! I imagine PP either has the DC tuition grant to help out or has something else that handles this.

PP, girl, you do you! I hope you have a great time in Paris, sister.[/quote]
