You have UVA and Washington and Lee to choose from.
Both of mine went in-state, and they seem fine. They haven't been radicalized (except perhaps the Aggie) and are not experiencing any weird growths.

I found it about 10' away from the bike and under the base board trim and under a lawn blower that was sitting there.
I've been knows to vacuum floors and then sift through the bag contents to find such things. I also gently sweep the area with a broom, and that often helps.

nothing is wrong with instate, but if my kids want to go out of state I don’t want that door shut, especially before one is even born.

We told our kids they could go to any school they wanted and could get into, with the one exception of Baylor. They both wanted to stay in-state.
My wife wasn't fond of the idea of out-of-state schools because she didn't want to be too far from them, but she would have let them do what they wanted.
None of it is cheap.
Don't forget to save for the wedding as well. Nobody ever mentions that.

Geez, you guys. Try working on wrist watch movements. Sometimes, with certain springs, I'd hear a tiny *tick* and feel something very small hit my face, and I'd know I was in for half an hour's often fruitless searching.

On last night's ride, I was rolling down the road towards Woodside, as usual only paying attention to the road. Then I noticed a rider on the other side of the road, trying to get my attention. He yelled, "What time is it?" I looked at my watch and shouted the time back to him.
As I was doing this I realized that the rider - a big guy, with long blond hair and a big bushy beard, not wearing a shirt but wearing gym shorts, was none other than our own "Larry Sellerz". So I shouted, "Hey, LARRY!"
He shouted back, "It's GABE!"
So I turned around and chased him down and introduced myself, then rode with him for s short bit. Then we stopped and he showed me his rear brake, where it had been knocked off center in the crash he described last week. The left caliper arm was tied to the seatstay with brown twine, so it wouldn't rub on the rim. I suggested he loosen the whole thing, center it, and retighten the mounting bold. That didn't seem to have occurred to him.
He was going the other way, so I said "Nice to meet you" and turned back around.

You have plenty of time to worry about that, and your wife will likely change her tune as the kids age. Especially if the kids do well in school and have a definite path they want to take that an out of state school will provide.
We told our kids they could go to any school they wanted and could get into, with the one exception of Baylor. They both wanted to stay in-state.
My wife wasn't fond of the idea of out-of-state schools because she didn't want to be too far from them, but she would have let them do what they wanted.

one key thought from your good advice above - 'especially if the kids do well in school'
this can often be a requirement to obtain good academic scholarship money (which there is an abundance of)
and high SAT / ACT scores also ... however some of this has appeared to recently change ?
( and this will mean the grade / GPA 'clock' begins ticking early ... freshmen/9th grade year)

Not a fan of the Evangelical hypocrisy that is Baylor and the Baptist church.
My daughter started college about the time the covered up sexual assaults by athletes were occurring and hitting the news. I did not want her going to a school where women were disregarded and objectified in such a way. Nor did I ever want my son to think that is okay.
My despise of the Baptist church has only grown as it has injected itself into the current political drama. None of my money will ever go to anything affiliated with it.
That's a purely personal decision and is not meant to cast all Baptist church goers as evil people or demons.
