Price of UVa

<p>your fees will go up, no one can tell you how much. Probably about on par with what has been happening the last few years. Don’t expect a ridiculous jump like the one Richmond just pulled on its students.</p>

<p>A lot of my friends go home for spring break to northern va (aka we aren’t “broke”). But essentially, if you (your parents) are paying mulitple thousands for a fraternity and trips, as well as thousands of dollars of spending money, you aren’t struggling to pay for your education. I do agree that a [n out of state] UVA education costs a lot, but you’re attending one of the best schools in the country, and you have to pay more out of state just like at any other state school, because you don’t pay taxes to support it.</p>

<p>I think we have different views of what the middle class is. The median household income in 2004 was $44,389 according to <a href=“http://www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr/income.html[/url]”>http://www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr/income.html&lt;/a&gt; How many people at UVA do you think come from households with that level of income? (All the CavDaily links to the story about 60% of students coming from houses making $100,000 or more (that I could find) were broken.) Probably not very many at all (I’m sure it’s about the same percent at W&M - too low). And I assure you that the students who DO come from houses are like that are not going on exotic spring break trips and spending Mr Franklins like they are Mr Washingtons. Maybe you were refering to UVA middle class.</p>
