[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that as a DC resident you can get in-state tuition at several public universities throughout the country? [/quote]

No, it's a grant of $10,000 per year at most (but not all) public universities across the country.  Which used to be enough to make up the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition but now isn't close at many schools.

UVa- in-state tuition $14,500, out of state $43,000
UMd- in-state tuition $10,000, out of state $30,000
Berkeley-  in-state tuition $13,500, out of state $40,000
Michigan- in-state tuition $14,000, out of state $43,500
Wisconsin- in-state tuition $10,500, out of state $29,800

Say you have 2 kids who could get into UVa.  It's $150,000 more in tuition as a DC resident than as a VA resident.[/quote]

year, but the chance of your kid getting into UVA from dc is much higher than from No. Virginia.  Best bet woudl be to more to chesapeake VA senior year and then apply to UVA.  If you prioritize your kid's college education.  You have the absolute worst odds from No. Va.[/quote]
