[quote=Anonymous]While a high-achieving peer group is a nice plus, who is it exactly that OP is arguing with? As I see it there are a few different types of students...

1. Students who can be accepted to a "top school" and whose parents can pay for it (either because they can full pay or because they get a ton of aid). Those students should probably pick the "top school" where they feel most at home and enjoy.

2. Students who can be accepted to a "top school" and whose parents can't pay for it. Their option is a ton of debt or choose a lower ranked school they can afford. Taking on a ton of debt on the outside chance that you might marry a rich classmate seems like a pretty poor strategy. And also taking a risk that you'll end up instead marrying someone with a similarly big debt load.

3. Students who can't be accepted to a "top school", who I guess OP thinks don't exist? They, like all students, should find a school that is a good balance of cost and the academics and lifestyle they want. (which, really, applies to the top-school-contenders too)[/quote]
