[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of going to a state school is to save money. Why would you pay 75k for a state school? Bizarre.[/quote]

Yeah. Unless there is a special program not found elsewhere.

We are paying for a T10 given the size and strong undergrad teaching. I wouldn’t pay this much for a large public. [/quote]

Yet many people do pay for these schools. Michigan had 50% OOS and UCs are having no problem filling their OOS quota. Maybe it is not your preference but many are willing to do so. My DS had a roommate this past semester at Berkeley who was studying and visiting from Williams. The Williams kid appreciated the variety of courses and seemed to have a great time. Only on DCUM is there so much disdain for any school that is not like their kid's. Recently when my DS met his HS friends he realized that kids complain and have issues at all kinds of schools, Ivies, State schools, SLACs but they still seem to be having a good time. Kids are more honest with one another and seem more mature and understanding that despite good grades and working hard, there is an element of luck in the process and not to look down on others with different school choices. Most kids are not like DCUM parents.[/quote]
