[quote=Anonymous]Nothing wrong with public universities. I would argue that they are one of the great strengths of the US. There are more brilliant professors and students at public universities than all of the elite institutions, if for no other reason than the fact that there are 1000x more faculty and students at publics. But, in choosing where to spend 4 years as an undergrad, the emphasis on frats/sororities and big-time sports at state schools is really off putting to some. If you're not a jock or a fratty bro, you might think the social environment is a lot like middle school gym class with too much booze and weed. And, they have different academic goals. For good reason, state schools place an emphasis on vocational majors - social work, physical therapy, nursing, communications, marketing, etc. - that are not considered academically oriented or rigorous by many.
