[quote=Anonymous]Surprised that no response details a decision between attending a top 10 university versus a full merit scholarship (plus other benefits such as housing and study abroad and personal relationships/guidance from the university presidents and deans, special events and special recruiting for choice jobs and internships) in a large public university honors college.

I know several who had to decide between near full rides at large Southern public university honors colleges and top 10 universities. All expected to attend graduate/professional school after earning an undergraduate degree.

The decisions involve various factors including finances, area of study, career plans, personal preferences, and prestige. Typically, prestige is among the top 2 factors considered. The individuals with whom I am most familiar were offered designations as "fellows" in the honors colleges/programs which is a group of the best among those offered a place in the large university honors college or program. All also had two or more options among US News top 10 ranked National Universities. Surprisingly, none of the 10 or 12 students considered LACs.[/quote]
