[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child had this choice last year and chose UVA over Michigan. UVA is half the size and that appealed to her (large but not huge).  Also, Michigan is a real PITA to get to from DC as there are very few flights to Detroit and they can be really expensive if you're not buying well in advance or if you're buying on a popular weekend. My child got off the waitlist for Michigan last year in May and we literally could not visit to tour that week (before the decision was due) for under $800/person. We looked at flights from all 3 DMV airports and even considered driving to Philly or Richmond or Newark to save money but there was nothing.  In contrast, UVA is a $18 Amtrak ride away (and yet feels like a different world to my DC kid).

There are a ton of DC-Detroit flights. I just looked at last minute flights and found several for under $200/ticket.[/quote]

I make the drive to see family in Detroit multiple times a year and it's not bad. Like 8 hours. [/quote]
