[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I'm an outlier but I think state colleges are a fine choice. I think a lot of 'top' colleges are a huge waste of money for most people but yet they think they need to go to the ' right' college or else their future is going to be ruined forever, when in reality, does it even matter that much?

Agree.  I think the only people concerned about this kind of thing live in areas like DC and NY.  The rest of the country is just fine with sending their kids to state schools.  There are some excellent ones out there.  [/quote]

The big state schools often have strong alumni networks, as good as if not better than the "top" colleges, and allow a student to be debt-free starting their career.[/quote]

+1. As luck would have it, I have the same foreign policy government job as people who went to "better" schools. I also got to have the time of my life at my big, wonderful state school with no debt. But I don't judge either way. People do what is right for them. [/quote]
