[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An obvious allure is that if your family makes say $100,000 you can attend most of the top schools for free or nearly free.  No idea what your state "land-grant" school might offer...perhaps the same because of the stats you have to attend one of the top schools (??).  BTW...only on DCUM does anybody re

fer to schools as land-grant.[/quote]

I went to Clemson and they always referred to themselves as land-grant. What's the issue with land-grant? [/quote]

Because nobody cares if a school is land grant or not.[/quote]

You mean YOU don't care. I am sorry your insight is so limited.[/quote]

Explain why anyone should care if a school is a land grant school vs. just a good school.  I have never heard someone say..."you know I was about to matriculate at School X, but then I found out it is not a land-grant school...so now I am going to school Y".[/quote]

Good grief, if you can't figure out how it's relevant in this thread, I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]

So...you can't explain it.  Exactly what I thought.[/quote]

Onus is on you, dear. YOU don't care. YOU can't make the connection. YOU claim no one else does. Like I said, limited insight. [/quote]
