I don’t think there are inherent differences between public and private schools - it’s more about size, resources, and reputation. If we were talking about the difference between, let’s say, VCU and Harvard - that’s a different story. But UVa. is a top public flagship with lots of resources and opportunities there.

There are 15,000 undergrads, but the student to faculty ratio is 16:1. BC is slightly smaller (about 9,000 undergrads) but the student to faculty ration is similar (14:1). USC has even more students (17,000), so if you are worried about community at UVa. why wouldn’t you be worried about it at USC, too?

Personally, I would advise you to take the money at UVa and run. It’s a top, well recognized university and you’ll get a great education there.
