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, [b]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.

I can think of several that not only match but clearly exceed: Berkeley, UCLA and Michigan. On top of that, graduates of those institutions are not known to have "relentless boosterism and snootiness". Matches: Texas, UNC, UIUC, Wisconsin, Washington all as good or better and their graduates are not known to  display "relentless boosterism and snootiness ".

In fact, the PP is a classic example of this "relentless boosterism and snootiness" - "I don’t know of another college that can match UVA’s value for an in-state, full-pay student". [/quote]
