[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about UCF?[/quote]

What's UCF?[/quote]

Probably Univ of Central Florida.

Is UCF a "prestige college"?  Of course not.  Really, no public college should be.

Public schools are supposed to prepare students for the work place and to otherwise serve the interests of the society.  Citizen's of a state aren't interested in having their tax dollars support a college system that does anything more than prepare students to improve the communities of the state. If in reaching that goal some people decide that makes the school a "prestige college", that's fine, but that is never the goal.

For example-- I attended Berkeley.  It's a great school. But I would never say that it is a "prestige college".  There are prestigious professors there, but the school in general is not aiming for the world of DCUM to deem it a "prestige college".  That's not it's raison d'etre.  It's an amazing  public research university, not a prestige college.

That’s a shame. In other countries all the prestigious colleges are public. [/quote]

Yes it is a "prestige college."  Of course it is.[/quote]
