<p>If only 10% of VT’s operating budget is provided by the state, why should Virginia residents feel they deserve special treatment when I am paying 150% of the cost of education so they can have a huge discount in their tuition? The school does not want all of it’s students from one area or even from one state, so all of the superior NOVA students we hear so much about are not going to be able to get in, it’s not possible. There are many schools in Virginia and elsewhere…one out there for every student.</p>
