[quote=Anonymous]I went to an Ivy and the only reason I might care (I have a long way to go and haven't thought much about it) is for the peer group that my kids would be surrounded by at a top school. I thought most of the people I went to school with were exceptional at the time (smart, funny, intersting, etc.) and 15+ years later they still are. And most now have interesting and good jobs, which doesn't hurt for networking. I know this is terribly un PC and I will get flamed, but I had a roomate throughout my 20s who had gone to a large and mediocre state school. I could see the difference in her friend group from this college. Most were not terribly bright or interesting to be around. And yes, it's possible that these were just her friends and everyone else walking around this school was a genius with a terrific personality.[/quote]
