I had kids who went to "top LACs" who would agree that the big state schools are more fun. Because they ARE.

+100. I went to a NESCAC school with a pretty good football team. The tailgates/homecoming were fun. More enjoyable to me than sitting in a big stadium filled with thousands of strangers and not knowing anyone on the field.

OP, I was thrilled to be smart, good looking and outgoing at a Big Ten school -- and not Greek.

Ditto DH, DS, DD at a variety of large state schools WITH great football -- with minuscule Greek life on campus.

High school should end at high school.

Who wouldn't want to be a smart, good looking and outgoing Greek guy or girl at an SEC, Big Ten or ACC school? What a time and place to be young.

Yes, and anyone who disagrees is weird and should be relentlessly mocked. They're also probably unattractive which makes them inherently inferior.

Wow. Somebody is really feeling ugly or that they have ugly kids.

Confidence and a good sense of humor makes up for a lot of that, you know. There's still hope.

Not according to OP.

I went to a school with big time football and lots of nerdy eggheads.

That’s real.

You first. You can’t admit that different people value different things than you do and that there is no one “real” college experience.

You can say that about any school. Just as you can also say that it is very possible to get a good education at EVERY big football school. Plus have lot of fun and be cute.

I'm not talking about what people "value." Implicit in your question is that you can't get a good education at a big, fun school. Which is bullshit.
