[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlike most DCUM posters, we don’t have piles of money to waste. We told our kiddos they can go anywhere - as long as it was in-state. Our neighbor let their son attend uni on the west coast — in a stunningly beautiful state. He transferred back to an instate school after a year.[/quote]

I've seen this dozens of times as well. And why do they transfer back? Because they want to hang out with their high school friends again. Everyone in this thread pretending in-state universities aren't high school 2.0 -- and even more so in the last 10 years -- is lying.[/quote]

You sound very odd.  Of course a lot of students attend their in-state school(s).  Most of these schools are large enough that they don’t run into people from high school unless they make a point to see them.  I have kids at three in-state schools - none of them see people from HS, much less hang out with anyone from their high school.  Perhaps it is you who is lying.[/quote]

I have seen this first-hand dozens of times: transfer to the state school after one year and the state school social circle is everyone from their high school. They transfer to be with all their high school friends.[/quote]
