<p>Unless you are in state tuition for Virginia, why pay out of state tuition for a state university? With few exceptions, I noticed last year that most of the high school students at my son’s school either went in state public or to out of state private universities. I suggest trying to look at the big picture–where do you think you might want to end up after graduation? I know that internships can factor in and which city has the kind of opportunities which appeal to you?</p>
