[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend turned down Yale for a slac as and spends so much time wondering "what if?"  I know that financially it makes sense to pick BU, but if it were my dc, I would encourage Yale for the outstanding academics, cohort and overall experience. [/quote]

Exactly. OP, I'd think hard about that.[/quote]

Meh. I went to prestigious Ivy over going to my state flagship for free (UF) and had a great experience, but spent a lot of time thinking "what if I wasn't so much in debt?" My life could have gone very differently. [/quote]

Haha, I had then EXACT same choice (though somehow coming out of ivy didn't have as much debt -- maybe younare older before Ivy aid got very generous)

But i know career wise I would have ended up in almost exact same career -- you can take the boy out of the country but can't take the country out of the boy.  I just didn't have the chops for how to plan and navigate a 'big' career -- no clue and no worthwhile advice from friends and family.

But ivy degree DEFINITELY helped in dating and I married way way up from what would have been my lot as a UF Honors grad.  [/quote]
