"...to be a Virginian, either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption, or even on one's Mother's side, is an Introduction to any State in the Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from the Almighty God...." Anonymous
My uncle when to UVA. My dad when to VA Tech
I'll bet UVa Tech games at your house are FUN!! I actually know undergrads who got into both and elect to go to Tech and come to UVa for grad school
Wallace We both know VA universities attract a lot of top talent which attracts a lot of top students
Karen * So true...UVA has gotten large medical grants and endowments * $1m from Bob Barker
I wonder what "best value" means. Considering the stature of the degrees, I just can't see New College of Florida ranking higher than Florida and Florida State. It must really be "new." I've never heard of it.
Jim * the PUBLIC classification includes the use of public and private funds....UVA has HUGE endowments * cash and LAND around Charlottesville and the state....these land values have not declined as most are immediately surrounding the expanding UVa Medical Center or larger land parcels (John Kluge has given hundreds of acres) that can be developed.....on the downside, having them belong to UVa takes them off the tax rolls which is a burden to Charlottesville and Albemarle county citizens,
