@ryanallen Where are you getting the data for your statement that UVA falls way behind the other top public schools? In every ranking I have ever seen UVA is in the top 3 Publics in the Country.
@anthonytheboy UVA and UNC often switch rankings from year to year as number 1 in the country for public schools. However, as people have pointed out, for the extra money it is not worth it compared to staying in state (NC).
