[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are pros and cons to both, honestly. I have a college freshman and the college admissions outcome in our circle has been tilted in favor of public, but that's probably small sample size. Based on years of discussions on DCUM, I understand that when you're targeting the top colleges, both private and public are hit or miss. There are fewer private students in community college and rubbish colleges, that's all, because privates do select at entry.

However, the daily real-life experience in public can be challenging due to violence and lack of material resources - as can some bullying experiences in small privates, not going to lie.

I would not sacrifice life savings for private, let's just put it like that. Put if you have the money, sure, why not. If your relative just can't handle that you have so much more money than she does, well, that's her problem.

This is not an argument either of you can win. It's a philosophical difference. You can ask her to shelve it.[/quote]

Don't be absurd. Public always has better admissions.

DMV privates are not awesome. [/quote]
