There was a book published in the 1980s called The Public Ivies which identified a number of excellent schools where you could get the equivalent of an Ivy League education for a fraction of the cost (if a state resident). William and Mary and the University of Virginia were both on the list. W&M's tuition may be one-third that of Harvard's. It's the second oldest college in the US (older than Yale).

W&M is a relative bargain for in-state but out-of-state not so much. Out-of-state tuition and fees (2014-15 school year) at W&M is $53,560 vs Harvard @ $58.607. Of course, hardly anyone pays the ‘sticker price.’ But how would anyone afford that, short of the Gateses?

Sen. Warren has picked up college debt as a battle cry should she choose to run vs. Hillary and she will have a built-in constituency with all these young people overburdened paying off those loans.
