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. [b]Personally, I don’t know of another college that can match UVA’s value for an in-state, full-pay student.[/b] 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.

It sure seems to me there could be quite a few depending on where you live, what you value, and what you want to do.  For engineering, there are quite a few.  Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Michigan, Purdue, Texas, Wisconsin, UCLA, Maryland, etc.  And Virginia Tech is much more complete and probably every bit as good of a value in state.  If you are focusing in an area like computer science, you could say the same thing again.

For a more general education, it is perhaps a more limited set, but you could certainly make a case for schools like Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, UNC, and William and Mary.

Vatech grads make more on average than UVA grads. [/quote]

probably true since most stem oriented students go to VT instead of UVA, and stem careers are better paid...I went to uva engineering in the late 80s, current income around $250k/yr and 6mil net worth.  It's has to do a lot with your chosen field.[/quote]
