[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Personally, I would jump at the chance to be full pay at Emory, etc, over in-state UVA and have the opportunity to subsidize the education of someone else's kid.[[/b]/quote]

LOL!  My SLAC is approaching $80K a year and wasn't worth it when I was paying in the four digits decades ago.  Both of our children went in-state Virginia.  If we lived in California, they would go to UC schools if fortunate enough to get in.[/quote]

I went to one of the top SLACs.  At the last reunion, I was talking to a classmate who is now a tenured liberal arts prof at UVA.  I asked if he thought the SLAC was worth the extra $$$ over UVA in-state.  Answer was a clear no.[/quote]

Well then that’s settled.[/quote]

He asked the guy and he said no. Wow! All this pointless debate and boom! Answered. [/quote]

Seems like it is.[/quote]

Yep. If a guy who presumably got his very hard to get job (tenured track, liberal arts, top university) on the basis of his education doesn't think it helped him compared to the experience he now provides for others,  I'm sure his case is typical and he has no blindspots on that.
