[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a terrible middle-of-nowhere state university in the cornfields and have regretted it enormously ever since. I was naive and young in high school and made bad decisions, and my parents did not know how to advise me, and neither did my terrible high school.

I've been saving up money since DD was born so that she can go anywhere she wants. DH (who went to an Ivy undergrad and Ivy med school) has had to pay off a lot of loans but I've seen the polish and sophistication and class that his education has given him.

Do other state-educated parents feel the same way as I do?[/quote]

I went to the University of Florida. I loved every second of it.  Graduated with a meaningful degree and I was able to walk out and get a job within a month of graduation in my field. Was in a sorority, was a fraternity little sister, went to all the football games and other events. There were endless things to do. I'm still friends with many people from my college days.

I graduated with a bit of debt (my parents had saved nothing) but paid if off easily  -- I think it was 10 grand total for the 4 years.  (This was back in early 80s.)  It was a great deal economically, and it's still a great deal. [/quote]
