UVA proposing tuition/housing/dining increases for next year (link) -- Mg234 11/21/2021 6:45PM

No way to avoid it, unfortunately. Private apartment rents are being jacked -- UVAFan2626 11/21/2021 10:48PM

Comparing my dining hall to my daughters.... night and day. -- Wahoos1 11/22/2021 06:41AM

The arms race is is unsustainable. -- Lucius 11/22/2021 09:24AM

Totally agree but they all tell you what a bargain you are getting -- SPYCAV 11/22/2021 10:36AM

Not going to spill the beans on names -- Zhoo 11/22/2021 1:35PM

With hard work and good daughters we were lucky. -- Wahoos1 11/22/2021 09:37AM

Sounds like they should offer free tuition while jacking up the sushi -- Williamsburg Wahoo 11/22/2021 09:01AM

In other news, UVA's endowment grew from $9.9B to $14.5B last year ** -- wahoooooo 11/21/2021 9:24PM

Seeking tuition increases after a banner year for the endowment... -- CDCHoo 11/22/2021 10:18AM

That's unfortunately not how endowment money works... -- JoeHoo 11/22/2021 11:40AM

I’m well aware how endowment works. Doesn’t change my position. -- CDCHoo 11/22/2021 3:02PM

I assume the growth above is net of payments out of Endowment? ** -- hoomonger 11/22/2021 1:21PM

Not super surprising, really… just keeping up -- CharlestonSC 11/22/2021 08:57AM

And if it had grown larger there might have been less of an increase ** -- Mg234 11/21/2021 9:40PM

The math says otherwise. How much endowment is enough?** -- 111shamrock 11/22/2021 08:49AM

Rough math another $16-19 billion ** -- Mg234 11/22/2021 1:04PM

My math may be a bit fuzzy but .... -- wahoooooo 11/22/2021 08:44AM

And there are a lot of restrictions I know the last increase -- Mg234 11/22/2021 1:03PM

Riiiiiiiiiiight. ** -- Hoodlum 11/21/2021 9:49PM

US energy independence would sure help ** -- wadhoo 11/21/2021 8:39PM

Maybe students should start protesting -- GoochlandHoo 11/21/2021 7:40PM

VA has an excellent community college system which is quite affordable- -- Lile Hancock 11/21/2021 7:43PM

UVa should help promote this by capping 1st years and expanding transfers -- Toolie92 11/22/2021 11:15AM

What is written on the sheepskin? ** -- Hoogle.com 11/21/2021 10:37PM

The idea is to go there for 2 years, then transfer to a 4 year institution. -- Lile Hancock 11/22/2021 07:24AM

Agreed- I try to get lots of my students to use it. Sure wish more would. ** -- aficionadHOO 11/21/2021 7:58PM

Yes- taking on a lot of debt for college is unwise. But most students ( and -- Lile Hancock 11/21/2021 8:04PM

INdeed you are correct. It isn't the "higher education" that is driving -- GoochlandHoo 11/22/2021 07:34AM

Most employers want that too, have seen how too many professors skew away -- Mg234 11/21/2021 8:14PM

My experience is that VCCS students do just fine -- Williamsburg Wahoo 11/22/2021 09:09AM

And my experience with friends they used it is -- Mg234 11/22/2021 1:06PM

With grade inflation, it is hard to tell what you are getting from college -- HburgCav 11/21/2021 8:54PM

So much this! -- The Hook 11/22/2021 12:20AM

And at certain (sometimes important) levels, the networking. -- Hoodlum 11/22/2021 09:30AM

What you are saying is actually shameful -- The Hook 11/22/2021 09:32AM

What you know matters very much. But, there's often a baseline -- Hoodlum 11/22/2021 09:44AM

Not my experience... -- The Hook 11/22/2021 09:46AM

Gotta pay for all of that hand sanitizer somehow ** -- jpmHoo 11/21/2021 7:31PM

It's like the "COVID supplies" $15 charge on our pediatrician visits. -- Lucius 11/22/2021 09:37AM

Had a spirited conversation with my dentist office over this charge. Yes -- Scarsnhoos 11/22/2021 12:27PM

Good luck with the next root canal. ** -- HoosForward 11/23/2021 10:29PM

Gotta make up for the students who bolted after the first semester. -- Birddog 11/21/2021 7:40PM

Silly move by them ** -- Mg234 11/21/2021 8:15PM

Since classes were remote they could be anywhere they -- Birddog 11/21/2021 8:19PM

Ah I thought you meant leave University period ** -- Mg234 11/21/2021 8:21PM

Nope. ** -- Birddog 11/21/2021 8:22PM

Also they had a longer than usual Christmas break. ** -- Birddog 11/21/2021 8:20PM

More concerned with grocery prices. ** -- aficionadHOO 11/21/2021 7:29PM

It will go up a lot more in future years. Inflation is tough. ** -- Wahoos79 11/21/2021 7:27PM

Might be the first time in 40 years... -- The Hook 11/21/2021 7:26PM

You just have to shake your head with this group. ** -- Birddog 11/21/2021 7:05PM

I am not sure why anyone would be surprised. It has been several -- Lile Hancock 11/21/2021 7:10PM

Quoting from WAPO and Daily Progress prior to this -- Mg234 11/21/2021 7:32PM

How has the availability of financial aid -- Hoojack 11/21/2021 8:22PM
