[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of the differences I noted between myself (top school) and my high school friends who didn't end up a top school.  Even the ones who went to the local top 10 state school seemed to stay the same as they were in high school, whereas I think I grew and changed and actually learned something new, and that's what I want for my kids.  This is coming from a town in the south, so [b]maybe the kids from DC aren't as "simple" as we were back then so the delta won't be as important.[/b]

This is what I think. I'm pretty sure my kid is going to do okay no matter where he goes to college.

What I care about is the quality of the education and that my kid be able to find intellectually stimulating company. I know he doesn't need to go to an "elite" college to get those things, but I also know that they aren't available everywhere. Unlike many others, I'm not impressed by designer names, whether in handbags or colleges; I am decidedly NOT interested in bragging rights. As with most high-end purchases, we will be shopping very carefully.[/quote]
