UVA was built in 1819. It is completely landlocked by the town that grew up around it. So it cannot expand further unlike the huge California publics. Nevertheless, there is an entity called the UVA Foundation whose mission it is to buy up real estate when available.

It’s too bad that UVA never developed an additional campus in Charlottesville. Michigan did that many years ago when they realized they needed more land to grow the school since there was a need.

But they did. They have the North Grounds, where Law and Graduate Business relocated and are based. They situated research in new developments. They have acquired a lot of land over time.

As an example, UVa bought the former Cavalier Inn, bulldozed it, and now is building a School of Data Science on that land.

UVA's campus (grounds) is larger than that of UT Austin, which has 2X as many students. UVA has land. That isn't it. However, if UVA was the size of UT Austin, it would 1) have a major detrimental impact on Charlottesville and town/gown relations 2) force UVA to essentially reengineer the campus to add density and 3) lower selectivity and ultimately the reputation.

I heard UVA tends to admit fewer students to keep its selectivity. Well, they need something to justify their $92000 OOS cost of attendance.

False. You are thinking of USC, a private in So California

What are you talking about?

Go to https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2024-0, click on School of Commerce (McIntire),

WM is one of the 6 public Ivies. 1693 —way before UVA

If you are going to post like this, learn your history. UVA was one of the first public ivies - here - not W&M! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy.

W&M gets added in by other comers long after the intitial list was created and published.

Both were included in the original public ivy list.

Ironic that in obnoxiously trying to correct PP you made an error. W&M was on the first list of public ivies.

Yeah. So have mine. So are we.

AND my kids chose not to attend UVA. Annoying as Fkkk student body. Hardcore striver syndrome. It’s like a bunch of travel sport parent and tiger Moms on crack.

One chose an Ivy and the other one W&M.

You don’t think anyone reading this actually believes you. Right?

NP. I believe them. What part don’t you believe? My husband and I are both alums, along with five other close family members. We have a history with the place, but if my DD were to get in to UVA and WM, I’d probably advise her to choose WM. Just a fit thing.

+1 UVA is a fantastic school.

But my kid prefers a smaller size, less Greek focus, etc. It’s her decision. We will see.

For our high stats kid it was not. VA has excellent value in-state options.

Did your DC pick UVA over Ivy or simply choose not to apply

They chose William & Mary.

Like the size and 12:1 ratio classes taught by Professors, no TAs. Profs teach every class. Not like at ivies or uva.

In addition, there are other decent public universities in the Commonwealth. W&M, VT, VCU. Even GMU is not too bad.
