[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's become popular in recent years with DMV area kids, maybe because Michigan is so hard to get into and Wisconsin has the same feel. DS mentioned it as a possible place he might apply, but we're not encouraging it. [b] I don't get why a kid from another part of the country would go to a big state school somewhere else, unless you have or want to create some tie to that area.[/b][/quote] Sometimes, it is nice to get away from where you grew up to get a different perspective on the country or world. That is part of what college is all about. If you grow up in the DC area, going to UMD, Gtown/GW/AU/UVA isn't really getting that fresh perspective as going to New England, the Midwest, the South or West might provide. It isn't about making connections in a different part of the country, though there is nothing wrong with starting a career in Chicago or Minneapolis where a lot of kids from UW and the BigTen end up.[/quote]
