[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think I'm anti-elite. I'm anti-attend the most expensive school without regard to how those student loans will impact your young life.

For those who can afford it...sure, go to an elite[/quote]

This. I'm sure going to that your of college is a great experience and may offer a different kind of education (maybe -- read "Excellent Sheep) than a public University or other less selective college. However, I don't think it's worth going into crippling debt to go have that experience. I think generally a kid who can get into Harvard but chose their State U instead (probably an honors program at that U) because that's what they can afford is going to do perfectly fine in life.  And yes, I know, low income students who get into Harvard will get a free ride, in which case definitely go there.

Also if it's free, or is you have so much money that cost is no consideration then I guess you can just go and enjoy your education and not consider outcomes. But most of us in the real world have to consider the balance between the cost of the education and the career it leads to.
