^ that was her response to this:

The board unanimously agreed to increase tuition by 4.7% for the upcoming 2022-23 school year and by 3.7% for the 2023-24 school year.

That said, we don't qualify for need-based aid (but can't afford full pay at private) and DD didn't want to apply to schools where she'd likely get a bunch of merit, so I'm grateful we have such high caliber in-state options in VA.

It's crazy, they're going to continue to lose out on great students to oos privates.

Not sure about that. My kid was looking at crazy expensive NE privates and we don’t qualify for aid. So W&M is a bargain!

UVA is $19,906 for Virginia residents and $55,861 for out-of-state students.

UVA costs less than our kids' private HS ($26k/year).

They're talking about COA, not just tuition. UVA in state COA for arts and sciences is $35,852 first year, and nearly $40k by 3rd and 4th year

You aren’t including room and board.

And of course private school is expensive. The vast majority of us cannot afford that in the first place.

W&M is a smaller school with only 6200 students. That translates into smaller classes and more personalized instruction, so I can see the appeal and cost difference.

UVA IS tuition lower than OOS for sure but not as low cost as people think. The COA will vary and can be as low as $32,000 a year but also as high as $45,000 a year depending on which school you’re attending at UVA.

My daughter applied to five IS schools in VA and nine OOS colleges, all private that were pretty good with merit or financial aid. She ended up attending OOS private and cost in line with IS UVA.

The COA for IS should be a better deal. The UC’s and UNC in state COA are very good deals and I wish VA was similar.

Virginia flagships are expensive because the state both underfunds them and lets them be expensive. The legislature could easily fix it on either end but chooses not to.

All depends on the family's income condition situation etc.
I sent all my three kids to OOS private schools because the difference was not significant luckily.
It could be as much as almost double for others.
UVA is on the expensive side for a public though as you said.

Not all public schools are this expensive. Their are other options in the 15k range.
