I guess we should just send you our contact information & let you decide what our priorities should be and how to run our lives.

you can run it however you choose, but from an academic and financial standpoint, what I stated still holds:  "it makes no sense to forgo the state flagship that may have a great reputation for your major, over a lesser oos just because you want to be a road warrior".

I get that some people want a big campus vs a small campus, or a rural campus vs city campus, but to most people, those "wants" are luxuries.

I'm not talking about choosing a mediocre in state vs a mediocre oos.  I'm talking about the choice between a well regarded in state flagship *for your major* vs the mediocre oos, especially if the in state flagship gives you merit.  Obviously, if you get into a better oos, then it's a different story, but that's not what I'm referring to.[/quote]

What do you mean “financial standpoint”? From a financial standpoint many Virginia residents can go OOS for less than the cost of UVA. It’s printed on the web site for Bama, WVU, Purdue engineering. Many other schools have less predictable scholarships with the same result. For those students it’s going in state to UVA that’s the luxury. [/quote]

UVA = $7,600/semester in tuition. Cheap AF.[/quote]

You forgot substantial fees, and increased costs for several majors.  More accurate to compare total cost of attendance.[/quote]

Every school has fees.   Also, if you’re going to score in Virginia, your travel costs are often substantially lower. Don’t forget that.[/quote]
