[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any appeal or advantage to attending a large public university as an undergrad. The competition is fierce in the intro courses, you don't get direct interaction with professors, you could easily disappear for a few days or a week and nobody would notice, you could flunk out and nobody would care, etc....

Other than fun football games in the fall semester, what's the appeal?

My son loves his choice - great academic options, lots of school-sponsored support programs, lots of activities, year-round competitive teams, lots of student pride, lots of choices.  Great alumni network.  Went to FCPS, chose out of state, and received substantial merit aid (similar to instate tuition).  Great business school, and lots of internship ops.  He finds that he sticks out a bit more with professors because of his academic success (bigger fish in a bigger pond), in which FCPS prepared him well. On his way to a great MBA program because of his success there.[/quote]
