[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure the NYTimes article or the research it cites support making a distinction between "large private non-elite universities" vs. "small liberal arts colleges" (selective or otherwise. Sure, the article cites NYU several times, and NYU is large. But some of the same arguments in the research (quality of public university education) would still apply in a comparison with a small liberal arts school or even some SLACs. On another note, "filthy rich" is a fairly useless term in an area like DC where $250K is considered middle class. We know lots of families in this income bracket who are paying for elite and not-so-elite private colleges while still funding their retirement accounts. The tradeof they're (we're) making is not private college vs. retirement, but private college vs. beach house. Does that make all of us filthy rich, or just dumb? Dichotomies like rich/dumb aren't useful in this grey area of income.[/quote]
