[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of it is people make excuses for why their kid didn’t go to a better school - “too far away” and sometimes don’t want to admit they could not afford anything but a local school (which is a legitimate reason in my book to stay close) .  Distance, for college, does not diminish family values or connection.  That’s ridiculous. I mean if someone joins the military and is deployed it doesn’t mean their family is not close nor does it mean they don’t make it a priority. [/quote]

This. When I hear that a child went [b]to a local college and not the state flagship[/b], I think ‘didn’t save, couldn’t afford it and or didn’t have the grades.’ You can say family priorities until the cows come home, it’s merely validation. There is no way a kid declines Stanford if they have the chops and money to go. [/quote]

Your post at first compares a "local college" to a "state flagship" before bringing Stanford into the mix. At first, it sounds like you are saying you think people could not afford a stage college if they attend a "local" college? What is a "local college"?
