Tuition increases for 2005-2006?

<p>UVA has announced their increase partly due to to this new charter status deal. Has W & M given any hints as to how their costs will increase? UVA's instate is going up by $580 and OOS by $1400.</p>

<p>william and mary said that its going up by 8%</p>

<p>we all gor,</p>

<p>got a source for that? Just wondering, I haven't heard anything definite, though it's obviously going up. Not that it matters to me b/c i'm on VA prepaid plan...</p>

<p>the tuition at UVA, Tech, and W&M will continue to rise. If they get working fast enough, the charters should start going into place next year.</p>

<p>"“If the state achieves that goal, we estimate that tuition increases can be held to an average of 8 percent per annum. The key to affordability is keeping the state in the game,” said Gamage."</p>

<p>not exactly a firm statement, but its probably a good guess. Curiously the out of state for UVA is a lower percentage-</p>

<p>"This fall, undergraduate Virginians will pay $7,180 in tuition and fees, an 8.8 percent increase over fall 2004. They will see their total cost of education — including tuition, fees, housing and dining — increase by 7.9 percent over the previous year.
Non-Virginians will pay 6.2 percent more in tuition and fees, for a total of $24,100. Their total bill, including dining and housing, will increase by 6.3 percent."</p>

<p>UVA is probably going up more for out of state b/c the other schools those students will be considering are higher priced</p>

<p>instate is going up at 7.9 versus out-of-state which is 6.3, so it's less. I would have assumed the opposite, especially since UR had such a monstrous increase this year.</p>

<p>wow I ruined that didn't I... let's try again:</p>

<p>The in state tuition is probably going up more b/c the education level will still be a huge bargain compared to out of state schools of the same quality.</p>

<p>heh</p>

<p>here's the info:

<p>7.8 increase instate
5.3 out of state</p>

<p>could have been worse.</p>
