Definitely go to UVA. We made it to UVA a little as 1-1/2 hour from Centreville. Most of the time it’s less than 2 hrs, add another 15 min to Vienna. There lots of kids from NoVa. You can always hitch or share a ride home on weekends. There is also a bus that goes from UVA to Vienna Metro Station on weekends.

UVA and GMU are no comparison. It’s a great opportunity. Don’t give up. If you do not do well and miss home after a semester, you can always transfer back to GMU. You should talk over with your parents about the financial situation: better education vs free ride. As Asian parents, many of us a will to paid for a better education.
