[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve saved so they can do 4 years at UVA/WM or VT, and have a full four year college experience.   
 
But if they would have to take on debt to attend for four years, or were only accepted the the 3rd tier VA state colleges, sure. I think a four year college experience is ideal.  But sometimes ideal isn’t an option. If it doesn’t work out, I would rather them NOVA to direct admit and get a UVA degree, rather than a 4 year Longwood degree. And rather then do 2 years of UVA or WM debt free than than 4 years with a lot of debt.

I think we will see more and more kids go this route, rather as even top students are getting shut out of UVA/VT/WM.

I think that going to nova and missing dorms and college away would be misery.  There is more to college than classes. The social life, connections and growing up away from home are very important.  If someone went to nova for two years and then transfers to UVA they will be isolated and find the social life difficult.  UVA is almost as difficult an adjustment and depressing as WM. Check the suicide rates.  I think the Nova transfer saves money but cost the students a lot in other ways.[/quote]
