| Surprised no one has said University of Texas. I had a friend from Austin who chose Michigan over UT. She was asked by a neighbor where she was going to school. When she told the neighbor that she was going to Michigan, the neighbor replied, "That's OK, honey. Not everyone gets into the University of Texas." |

Actually I think 3 of Cornell's 7 schools are land grant schools. Ag is one of them. Not quite public but cheaper tuition for NY residents. |

Very funny! I'm also surprised no one has mentioned the "Public Ivies" more generally. Seems like a good starting place in term of prestige (and quality). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy |
