So, for me the two questions comes to mind, is what does he actually want to study? VT has a great IE program. But if he wants to focus on finance and actuarial science, it’s hard to go wrong with UCLA for that.

The second question is what does that cost difference mean to you? If you have to stretch and compromise retirement or otherwise put significant strain on your finances, then I’d lean heavily towards Virginia Tech. He could also check out their CMDA major with an economics focus - which would give some good data analytics background.
