[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There aren't any top privates within a short drive of here (other than JHU which is attractive only to a specific sort of candidate.) After that would be Princeton, Duke, Penn and Swarthmore - all incredibly difficult to get into (and $$$$) so for high stats kids who don't want to go super far away, UVA/W&M emerge very quickly as strong viable options. I personally don't want to drive 9+ hours one way to get to my child's school nor do I want to be dealing with flights (and then often a drive on the other end) every time I want to visit or they need to get home. I think people really gloss over the hassle that this is and/or don't think there kid will ever want to come home? I was slow to adjust and very homesick for awhile and I'm so glad that my parents could visit me and I could come home as needed until I got comfortable. [/quote]

This is a really dumb response.  The same could be said about nearly every state in the country outside of maybe New England.[/quote]
