[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a super social kid who gets really good grades at a really tough HS.  We were *completely* turned off by Chicago and VT at a college fair.  Multiple parents have told me that W&M is challenging in a good way academically, but also challenging socially which would not be a good fit for our kid.  We will still be looking at both VT and W&M because they are state schools, but Chicago is off the list.  [/quote]

DC is currently at Purdue because VT engineering turned him off.  They were still talking’everyone for himself’ and ‘you’re on your own’.  Purdue was talking collaboration and support.  [/quote]

Must be nice to afford paying an extra $100,000 for something like that. [/quote]

It will be closer to a $60k difference- all in.  It nice to give ones child options.  When we planned for college for our two children, we saved to be able to afford to send them out of state or to a private if that was the best option for them.  My other DC is currently at a private, but has a nice scholarship that brings it down to about the same cost as his brother.  [/quote]
