[quote=Anonymous]Wondering about the long term outcomes of selecting a top 10 SLAC vs going to a highly regarded State Flagship Honors program.

I see benefits to both. My perception is on the SLAC side you have access to a social-economic networks and on the State Flagship side I see kids that are regarded as smart and hard working that likely didn't have the funds for the SLAC or the financials at the state school were too compelling.

In my life experience, both have the potential to be excellent employees although I will admit that the SLAC grad likely has an easier time getting his resume onto my desk.

From a life perspective, I wonder if the State school grad is not better grounded having not viewed the world from such a lofty perch and perhaps has developed more empathy.

I realize I am making generalizations and that all students are different but I do wonder about what is best for the student from both a career perspective but also from a life perspective.

This is not meant to be incendiary - just trying to think thru the pros-cons of both.

Please share your thoughts.[/quote]
