Are you saying you have already been accepted to both, and the net price with financial aid or in-state tuition is 14K less a year at UVa.???

Batten is a major plus for UVa. It has a strong interciplinary emphasis. It has plentiful resources and smaller class sizes and a much easier time registering for the classes you want than the Politics dept. Many profs have been hired in recent years - which has been an excellent time to be hiring tenure track profs because many universities have not been hiring many of them in the social sciences. Therefore, it has been easier to hire the cream of the crop.
