[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In-state cost for UVA School of Engineering is more than 50K per year now. How ridiculous![/quote]

Not ridiculous. Your other options are OOS at publics like UCLA (76k+) and Berkekey at ($78+). Privates like USC are over $90k a year.  Don't like it? Go to the community college and take advantage of the guaranteed transfer program.

UVA already is discounting in-state costs (engineering is an expensive program!). College is a luxury, it is not a promise to your kid. Have them work for a gap year if need be.

[b]But stop haranguing in this point. Clearly you have a sour grapes issue with UVA engineering because you keep raising this bizarre fact.[/b]

And for non-engineering types (the vast majority), UVA's COA for its most popular College of Arts & Sciences, all in, is only $40k ... still an extraordinary benefit when compared to OOS and private tuitions[/quote]

Yes, the harangue is getting old. Just the fact OP titles this post "UVA Cost" (not engineering cost) shows they are stirring the pot. [b]Non-engineering programs at UVA are only $40k[/b][/quote]

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

My DS is currently in UVA business as a junior, and we're paying as much as engineering, if not a bit more:

School of Commerce, Third- and Fourth-Year

Virginian	Non-Virginian
Tuition	27,570	66,130
Fees	3,716	4,398
Subtotal	31,286	
70,528

Additional Categories	21,134	21,134 to 22,494
Total	52,420	91,662 to 93,022[/quote]

I actually think the premiums for engineering and business are warranted given higher costs and higher expected earnings for those majors.  Many schools have gutted other departments to subsidize majors like engineering.[/quote]
