[quote=Anonymous]First, of course he can get a good education in 
ANY of those schools.  All schools have both good and poor instructors.  The prestige frequently comes from the research an institution does, and the researchers and writers are not always good teachers.  The selectivity of a school is based on many things.  UVA is quite selective--but do you really think all the classes taught by grad assistants are the best education?  NO.  It is because of what the students put into the classes -not who is teaching them.  UVA has good students--that is what makes the students successful.

I went to an SEC school, too.  I had some wonderful teachers--and, in those days, very few classes were taught by grad. assistants.

As far as jobs, the school might make a difference in the first job, but after that your kid is on his own.

And, for the poster who suggested Vandy, Duke, Rollins, etc.--those are all private institutions with high tuition.  And, yes, 
Duke and Vandy are probably out of reach academically for a 3.95.  Sad.
