[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a college professor and my two oldest have chosen state flagships. Ultimately I was fine: they both selected in large part for the specific academic programs as well as for the money - and they certainly saved us a lot of money. But I definitely made sure that they understood the pros and cons. These can be quantifiable (class sizes, available internships, research opportunities) and harder to quantify but very real (is a program "weed out" or supportive?) We also talked a lot about how they learned best so that they could make the most informed choices. My third kid is interested in medical school and we are looking at acceptance rates from different colleges into med school. These numbers/data are helping him decide.[/quote]
