[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about UVA vs. Berkeley? Both good schools (don't know their exact rankings). Would folks really argue that equivalent experiences could be had at both places? I think this just goes to show it highly depends on the schools in question. [/quote] I think if I had a techy kid, then I might consider Berkeley because of its location and its strengths in fields like comp sci and certain engineering fields. But for a generic psychology or business or English major who wants to go there just purely because they’d rather spend four years in Berkeley than Charlottesville? Hell no, what a waste of money. [/quote] This. I think there are a select few academic and/or professional reasons that make going out of state worth it. I would spit out my drink if my kid asked me to pay $100K more for him to go to Berkeley over UVA just because he thought it’d be more “interesting to a young mind” (major eye roll). [/quote]
