So if you can afford preschool in NOVA, you can afford to send your kids to VA Tech, too (assuming they get in).

Well, if you can afford to pay for college, you can afford it.

I suspect that not everyone in northern Virginia can afford to send their kids to preschool.

It's the people who can't afford college who are having the biggest problems.
