If I were advising my own child, I’d tell her to choose UVA. Neither BC nor USC is a small school, and as public flagships go, Virginia isn’t that large. Academically UVA is every bit as good (if not better) than the others. I don’t think you can assume that private schools are more supportive of students in general, either. I can’t think of a good reason to pay the large cost differential to attend BC or USC. I’ve lived in Charlottesville, and it’s a nice place to spend a few years.
