[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any appeal or advantage to attending a large public university as an undergrad. The competition is fierce in the intro courses, you don't get direct interaction with professors, you could easily disappear for a few days or a week and nobody would notice, you could flunk out and nobody would care, etc....

Other than fun football games in the fall semester, what's the appeal?

The truth is they don't know any better. They and their kids are most likely public school lifers. Who was it Donald Rumsfeld with the unknown unknowns? Private education is so unknown to them, they have zero comprehension of what a private education is like, so they simply don't care or even realize what they are missing. And they are sheep who follow crowds and place extremely high value on party culture, D1 university athletics, apparel, and going to big university where likely everyone from their neighbors to their waitress at Olive Garden to their grandma in Ohio has heard of.[/quote]
