No one is saying UVA is HPY. What people are saying - and it is true - is that UVA is Georgetown, Notre Dame, Emory, UNC, Michigan (I.e. similarly ranked) for 40% the cost. And, it’s much closer to the DMV than many of those schools, has great school spirit and athletics, and top-notch graduate programs too. Essentially, it is a massive value in an elite or near-elite space. Personally, I don’t know of another college that can match UVA’s value for an in-state, full-pay student. If it wasn’t already clear, that’s the appeal. Somehow though, I think everyone already knows this, but there is jealousy among those who can’t partake and probably a bit too much excitement, turned pride and even arrogance, among those who can.

UVA is not the only school that offers great value. You are delusional.[/quote]

If you are really concerned with future earnings, your choice of major may be a much bigger factor than the school.  Also, when I've looked at future earnings from good public schools, they look pretty similar if you consider that some kids (e.g. UC System) are more likely to settle in high cost areas that also have somewhat higher pay.   The other factor appears to be the number in high pay majors like engineering.  Georgie Tech is actually ahead of even schools like Berkeley, UCLA, and Michigan in ROI, but that is almost certainly because 65% or so are majoring in engineering, which is much higher than those other schools.  That doesn't mean Georgia Tech engineers necessarily earn more than engineers from Berkeley or Michigan.[/quote]

Don't you know DCUM folks look down on STEM majors?[/quote]

You can't spell stem without SJW or pathetic lib....it's science.[/quote]
