<p>ok so on the W&M webstie it say OOS total cost is like $19,800... then in the packet they sent it was more in the $30,000 dollar range</p>
<p>can anyone give me a real figure????
perhaps someone attending?
<em>SIDE NOTE</em> does anyone know the percentage of Black people there (i'm black and applying)</p>
<p>go to collegeboard.com they have all your answers</p>
<p>DDs in-state tuiton and fees are over $10,000, which is what the website says for in-state students. She was accepted as an out of state student and the COA was around $32,000 several years ago. OOS Tuition and fees are $19,800 this year. These numbers do not include room and board.</p>

<p>No no, there is confusion not only between tuition and total cost, but also between one and two semesters. I am OOS, and my total bills for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 came to a total of $36,836, which does not include "books, travel, and incidental costs." If you want to include books, tack on another 800 or so, so disregarding travel and other unique costs, it will cost you slightly over $37,500 to go. </p>
<p>I imagine that price will go up at the end of the year to help with recent budget cuts imposed by the state of Virginia. I am sure that it will cost 40k/yr for OOS students within a few years.</p>
<p>inchoative, my D is applying to both UVA and CWM as an OOS student. Can you elaborate on what kind of budget cuts the state is imposing on higher education, and what impact the cuts will have?
Thanks</p>
<p>They cut state support to major 4 year state colleges by 7% for this fiscal year. I know the College was able to absorb the costs with a hiring freeze and some other measures, but the Governor announced another 15% cut for next year. W&M gets less than 20% of its operating budget from the state, and with the next rounds of cuts, it's expected to be around 15%. They promised no mid-year tuition increases, but there will likely have to be an increase for next year (last time something like this happened, it was something like a few hundred dollars for each student, iirc). This has fueled a lot of talk about the school going private again (W&M became public in 1906, iirc) (no in/out of state quotas, charge more to in-state = more money, possibly more private giving, etc...). I doubt this will actually happen. Although President Reveley has talked about the transition from a state sponsored school to a state supported school (Virginia helps out a lot on bonds for building projects), and has talked about the need for more private giving from alumni. He's seen some success here - one alumni (he was here for one semester before leaving to open a business, if that counts as an alumni) just donated 11 million to build a new career center.</p>
<p>The state has (had?) a "rainy day fund" for when there were budget shortfalls, but I don't think they were expecting anything this big. Gov. Kaine used a bit less then half of it for this fiscal year, and is using most of the rest to blunt cuts for next year, iirc (if I remember correctly).</p>
<p>UVA has a larger endowment they could draw from, but I'm not sure how badly this was hurt with the stock market this low. I don't believe these state cuts will greatly affect academics at either school. What it will affect is tuition.</p>

<p>... I think the bottom line, is tuition will continue to go up (more than just adjusting for inflation).</p>

This is not a proposal to privatize our institutions. What we seek -- what we need -- is the institutional flexibility to protect the quality that lies at the heart of our academic programs. We would become Commonwealth Chartered Universities, but we would remain public institutions with boards appointed by the Governor, confirmed by the General Assembly and accountable to the people - just as we are now.
