[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.

[b]U of C has better resources.[/b] It is a unique and intellectually aggressive place.  It is NOT an undergrad business school. Your kid will get a traditional BA there and learn things he probably won't at UVA.

UVA is a fine school, but it is not U of C.

Now, what is the value added from that experience? Only you and your family can decide that. I personally wouldn't do I think if it involved much in the way of loans, but you might have more than me.[/quote]

What does that catch-all mean exactly for an [b]average[/b] middle of the pack student?[/quote]

Smaller class sizes.  Smaller class sizes. More librarians (who are very useful in this modern age because they can help,you find the electronic resources you need, and the library will be in more electronic consortia). Better tech in the classes.... more and varied higher level classes.   This kid won't be average at UVA.

OP, one poster commented that this will be obvious after visiting both. If you can't afford that, then choose UVA, but if the money is available, then choose the one that resonates with your kids.

When I was his age, I would have been willing to pay extra to go to a place with no sports scene.[/quote]
