Hang in there - this happened to me when I was in HS. Got into my dream school but my parents weren’t really clear on how financial aid worked and it was unaffordable. Went to my state school for free. Did really well and then went to a T-20 grad school for free. There’s a different kind of bragging rights in following the money. You’re being pragmatic and VCU is paying you to get a degree. Once you’re settled in, you will probably like it and nobody there will think any less of you for your choice.
