Free ride at UVA vs. nearly full pay at Stanford?

How much will your parents cover? How much are you expecting in the form of personal loans. As an international student, what entity will lend you the money and under what interest rate and terms of repayment?

If your personal debt burden will be more than 10K per year, take UVA and don’t look back. Especially if you are looking to study philosophy or political science - those are not high paying fields - even if you get a graduate degree, which would result in a further delay before you start earning a meaningful salary.

There will be plenty of late night intellectual talk at UVA.
