[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&M is somewhat unusual as it has a LAC feel, it’s a State school and it is well ranked. Matching that will be hard as LACs are private. If you have the stats to get into W&M you will probably need those to get aid at a private. Tough choices. [b]And W&M just got more expensive also. [/quote][/b]

Not in-state. W&M has kept the same tuition, fees, room and board for incoming in-state students the same for at least the past 4 years.  And they have a policy where your tuition and fees are guaranteed not to rise from your incoming rate.  It is already the most expensive in-state public (though some specific programs at UVA are about the same) but it's been holding its costs steady for awhile now.[/quote]

It might not affect most of the people on DCUM, but W&M's effective cost for low and lower middle income is among the lowest in the state if not the lowest.  As part of the agreement with the state for increased autonomy, the institutions had to create a plan to increase access for lower income students, and W&M (and UVA also) did it in part by increasing grant aid for lower income students.

As mentioned, tuition has been held constant for in-state students for 4 years now.  I'm not sure about room and board, though.[/quote]
