I think I made the wrong college decision

bernie, you seem to be the most objective person here.

I really want the academic prestige combined with a semi-nerdy student body. What kind private schools were you thinking of? VT is really cheap for OOS, and I can afford it (just barely, however), so I’d like a cheap private school or one where I’d get lots of fin-aid (I don’t qualify for FAFSA, however, becuase my parents are rich but they want me to pay for it on my own!).

Any ideas? Are there any other fairly cheap public schools with a techy student body (idk, like Purdue or the UC’s)

Anything would help at this point!
