[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to med school with Berkeley and UCLA alums and all of them bitched about how few resources they had to help them along the way. Sounded like a pain in the ass as well as a bit demoralizing to have such a barebones college experience.[/quote]

Resources like what exactly?[/quote]

I could sink time into telling you, but it'd just go over your head. So, to make you feel warm and special I'll just say there's NO difference between Berkeley and Harvard. Let's go further, no difference between Cal State and UCLA either![/quote]

Wow, you are a serious douche.  I'm the poster with three Ivy League degrees you're responding to.  I somehow managed to emerge from those institutions not pitying the poor souls at state schools.  Your personality is one of the reasons I frankly think the Ivy League is overrated.  To the PP who actually helpfully listed the essentially solely monetary resources, yes, that's true and accords with my experience.  But I find it interesting that it all comes down to money, which a lot of students at elite institutions already have in excess -- that is, mommy and daddy could pay for them to travel and cover extra academic costs, too.  But, for the non-wealthy student, stop and think of the implication of these monetary "extras."  This thread was about whether you'd be willing to PAY for an Ivy.  It seems kind of odd to say, sure, I'll pay 60,000 tuition a year because such-and-such college will give me a "grant" of 5,000 for a summer internship.  Hello?!  You're paying for that!  My point is, economically, you can get a lot of the same value at other schools.[/quote]
