[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mindset of the OP is the exact reason students choose to go out of state, if they can. They value broadening one's horizons.[/quote]

Op here. I think people are misunderstanding what I meant. I don’t understand why anyone would go to a mediocre public school and pay out of state tuition for a mediocre school. I would pick a better private school out of state vs a mediocre public school.

I got multiple answers. That may have been their best option. The cost of OOS public is still lower than cost of private. The OOS public may be larger and attractive. OOS public may have more majors and options.

I was wondering why one would pick a large public and pay OOS tuition. I didn’t realize some people want to go to a school with 50,000 students. [/quote]

Thanks for confirming you are indeed a troll.[/quote]

I was genuinely curious and got several answers on why one would choose an OOS public.

I grew up in an affluent suburb and was part of the AP/honors crowd. Everyone sought the ivy, Stanford, mit, Carnegie Mellon, Cooper union, Amherst, Swarthmore, nyu, tufts, Wellesley, etc type schools.[/quote]
