[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago hands down. Not sure how this is a question unless you really can’t afford it.[/quote]

Given the comparable ROI, Chicago needs to discount the tuition to the same price as UVA - unless the parents are flush with cash. Sounds like you are paying extra for luxury amenities at a resort, including extra security (which you might need in Chicago.)[/quote]

UVA is subsidized by Virginia taxpayers.

The thing that has impressed me about Chicago is all the stuff I described is available to every student.  It doesn’t cost to access it and you don’t get more or better if you pay more.  Yes, I get that a family that can’t afford full pay and that doesn’t qualify for financial aid may opt for a less expensive public university that will provide their child with a quality education.  And that’s a sound decision.  But the question that I responded to “was what does ‘better resources’ mean, in practical terms, for a typical undergrad?”  I answered with concrete examples based on recent experience. “ Is it worth it?” is always a question that depends on resources and values.  OP and her DC get to figure that out for themselves.  [/quote]
