And in your kids college search are you expecting them/requiring them to do the same?[/quote]
I will highly encourage them to do the same. Not because I'm overly attached to them, but because it's a complete waste of money to go away to college when we have fantastic schools in our own backyard. Contrary to popular belief, employers don't care where your degree comes from.[/quote]
Ha ha, you clearly haven't been through the college process recently.  I have "average" for the area kids with fully paid-up 529 plans.  So, for us, we were thrilled when they both got into top 50 private colleges (but probably would have been rejected from Va Tech).  And I'm not sorry that they didn't want to go to JMU or GMU (not saying there's anything wrong with those schools, just not where my kids wanted to go).  So may be a waste of money for you; not a waste of money for us.  People are different, you know?  [/quote]

If they would have been rejected by VT then they would have been rejected by GMU which is more selective[/quote]
