[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shave some friends and colleagues who have degrees from the “lesser” Ivies or good LACs and many of them told me that in retrospect, they should have attended big state schools. The main reason is not because of academics but they don’t enjoy their alumni lives that much. They don’t feel connected to their respective alma maters, while many big state schools offer bigtime athletics programs which makes it easier to stay connected to your alma mater. [/quote] I actually observe the opposite...at least in the %age of alumni returning to schools for events and gathering for local alumni club events. I mean if your connection to a school only goes as far as being able to gather at the "Michigan" bar in DC to watch the football game, then not much one can do with that.[/quote]
