[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The actual math is

(1) It’s cheaper to go from DC to other states for college than it is to live in Virginia and go to top Virginia schools. (Eg, Purdue OOS is about the same price as VT in-state, and then you subtract DCTAG.) This is because in-state prices in Virginia are absurdly high compared to in-state prices in most states. [b]In fact I know several Virginia families who have gone out of state to save money. [/b]

(2)[/quote]

but the real reason is that their kids didn't get into UVA or W&M or VT. Several families I know had to fall back upon OOS applications when those schools did not accept their kids.[/quote]

Not true. VA Resident. DC got into both UVA and VT. Didn’t apply to W&M.Had no interest in even visiting UVA or VT for admitted students days.

He’s a CS major. Neither UVA or VT are tops for CS compared to some of the OOS options - like GaTech, UIUC, Texas, or Michigan.  Ended up at large OOS public for less than the cost of UVA. Maybe from an outsiders perspective you would think he didn’t get into UVA or VT.[/quote]
