[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly the only prestige universities that actually could benefit you for life are harvard and Yale . I know quite a few people who went to “lesser” ivies and are no better off than if they went to Towson. [/quote]

This is so not true.  Georgia Tech would be better.  Boston College.  Duke.  Vanderbilt.  All would benefit a student more than Towson if they take advantage.[/quote]

A few of my friends went to Harvard. One is a very rich lawyer who hates law, one is a doctor, one is a teacher. None of them credits Harvard for their success. All three say they disliked Harvard and wish they'd gone to a smaller, less prestigious college with an emphasis on learning, like Swarthmore or Haverford.

The richest person I know didn't even get through college. He dropped out junior year, started his own business, and now is extremely wealthy. He's super smart, well-read and interesting, but he doesn't credit college for his success either. [/quote]
