We can afford UVA but it's a large difference.

Won’t happen in the next 10 years. UVA is the more impressive degree and excellent recruitment.
If money is no factor, UVA.



I would agree if money isn’t a factor. What does your kid want to do after graduation? Major? Interests? UVA is the no 1 public producer of Rhodes Scholars at 56 and was just named top producer of Fulbrights by the state department. U of F has 13 Rhodes

We live in DC.

The in-state thing is possible if you have a grandparent in FL (yes, really). So we'd get DCTag money as well.

It would make UF cost about as much as a European vacation.

Major is CS

That price difference is huge. My opinion is UF.

UVA is about to fall out of the top 5 publics. Guess which school is #6?

70k vs 10k for a similarly ranked school?!? UF hands down.

UF alum here. UVA, no question. UF is a diploma mill. Every UF grad I have worked with in over 20 years lacked basic skills. I would never send my kids there.

UF would obviously be far less expensive - instate tuition <$10k.

UVA is well-respected, especially in the mid-atlantic. While UF is a pretty highly ranked public, I'm just not sure. Looking for opinions...




The country is much larger than the mid-Atlantic. Save your money and go to Florida.
