VT. Corps was the extra icing

we are florida residents. He has loved VT since childhood.

High Point is offering a lot of money but I am not sold on the school. Denver is a REALLY good school for what he wants to study (international affairs/relations/business) but REALLY expensive. They are offering some money but it is still about 45k a year. I work in that field and that amount of debt (add in a masters) limits your opportunities out of school. you have to take what pays the most.

Our other son got into VT (last year). He chose UF because they offered a full scholarship for engineering and they had the engineering he wants to study, Biomedical. Plus they are now offering him a 3+1 deal for bachelors and masters.
