Virginia cost view
Virginia schools in the dataset: Charlottesville and Blacksburg
The Virginia pages cover the public flagship in Charlottesville and the polytechnic university in Blacksburg. Both publish clear resident and nonresident rates; after residency, graduation time is the variable that moves the total most.
This page covers only the Virginia schools in the dataset. It is not a ranking of every college in the Commonwealth.
| School | City | One-year total | Four years, no increase | Four years, 3% yearly increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Virginia | Charlottesville | $38,083 | $152,332 | $159,325 |
| Virginia Tech | Blacksburg | $35,176 | $140,704 | $147,163 |
How to use this state view
Start with schools you can realistically attend, not every name in the table. Then open each school page and check the tuition basis. Public schools can change the answer when resident status changes. Private schools remove the residency line but can still vary by housing, program, and grant aid.
Use the calculator to hold housing and grant assumptions steady across schools. That is how you find out whether a difference comes from tuition or from the way you have modeled living costs.
What this page cannot tell you
It cannot tell you admission chances, grant aid, program quality, graduate earnings, or whether a school is worth the price. It gives a dated cost record so the money side of the decision starts with the same facts for every school.
