[quote=Anonymous]Yeah--you can be a VA kid and have your entire class be from NC at UNC (fill in other public schools).  State publics that serve the state are filled with kids from THAT state.  The BS argument that if you stay in-state you have have no geographical diversity---but then you go a state away with everyone from the same state but you--is ridiculous.  I get it if you didn't get into your state flagship or the other state public has a program you can't get at your own....but this 'HS 2.0' crap is stupid.  I didn't see anyone from my HS at my large public university.  There were 10 of us from my class at a 20k student body. And--people are telling my kid he's nuts to go to a private near home when that private has only like 1% from the DMV and is filled with International students (50 countries represented) and every state and there is a 3 year requirement to live on-campus.  In this area, kids are worldly.  The amount of places and things my kid has done by 18 and the independence he has living in a city is way more than I had even after graduating from my suburban HS and them my rural public state university.[/quote]
