I'm kind of shocked at all these rich people who went or sent their kids to private colleges. NY had 64 SUNY schools when my brother and I were coming up - we thought it was totally reasonable that our parents said out of 64 surely we could find one that was right for us. [/quote]

One of my former classmates who is arguably one of the most successful in our HS class is the product of a CUNY, they are a New england state senator today. Got kicked out of a private college to begin with, it took them 7 years to work through a traditional bachelor's.

CUNYs don't let you coast by on your school name and they teach you to scrap and develop your actual skills

Likewise, my SIL had parents who cut off her funding and she had to drop out of private college. When she had to work pay for her own credits she said she studied a lot harder at the local state place (not community but you've never heard of it) and she ultimately landed a prime job at an investment firm because the partner who interviewed her said he was tired of Ivy League BS. She did really well. She married one of the other investment guys (who was my spouse's sibling).[/quote]
