[quote=Anonymous]I have twin girls and a son  I attended college many years ago in Vietnam and when I came to the US at the age of 30, I had to do start over again.  I went to NVCC to learned AutoCAD and found a job that paid enough for housing and food but not enough to save for my kids college education.  We used to rent a basement at a home in Mclean so that my kids can attend Langley HS.  We saved about 30K for each kids so they knew that they would have to spend two years at NVCC.  The twin girls spent two years at NVCC and transferred to Yale and Emory with full scholarship due to my family finance.  The boy also spent one year at NVCC and transferred to UVA through the guarantee admission program.  He got quite a bit of financial aid and some merit aid so it is almost a free education at UVA.

All of them graduated a few years ago.  One of the daughters is in medical school while the other one is working for Goldman Sachs.  The son is working for Apple.

NVCC is a really good college.  All of my kids are proud to say that they once attended NVCC as does their father.[/quote]
