When CW was at UVa's Echols Scholars program, which I thought sounded wonderful, and of course I love UVa, one of the students told him that he was in a class with 600. That and the overall size of the university turned CW off. Being out of state, though, it wouldn't have saved us that much compared to Rice which has a very low pricetag for what it is. I think U va was 16-18K.

Va Tech was my brother's alma mater so I think it's a great choice. I know it always had that sort of ag school rep-- the Hokies wasn't it? LIke Texas A&M aggies. But I understand it has a terriic engineering program.

Houston is NOT an academic school, and I think has more of that 'working people get degree' city feel to it. We'll look at the Honors program which says it offers more of the private school within a larger school atmosphere and see. The price is very right! UNder 10.
Someone talked to CW about going straight into a PhD program after he finishes- it sounded as if they pay everything and also offer a generous stipend as well..
Sounds good to me.

Would you encourage the boys to move away from home preferably?
