| My daughter graduated from UVA. We are middle class, out of state, & she fit right in. She loved her 4 years there & says they were the best 4 years of her life so far. I was discussing this subject with her the other day because my son's friend wants to go to a school that is much more costly than his second choice where he is being offered a 3/4 tuition scholarship. The parents can afford both, but one would be financially less draining. My daughter's response to me was priceless & made me feel that our money, & her loans, were money well spent. She said that at the end of the day, if you can afford a school, it's not the money - it's if you're where you want to be. |
