[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying that you are not pushing for Ivies or T20 schools is not the same things as saying it doesn’t matter where your kids go to school.

Finding the best fit schools for your child is about much more than fossilized rankings and prestige.

Cost
School size 
School location 
Majors 
Minors 
Quality of mentoring on campus 
Quality of Learning supports provided 
Quality of student health care services 
Mental health care supports 
female reproductive health care  
Diversity on campus 
Culture of school and nearby towns
Proximity to home (or distance if preferred)
Urban v suburban v rural 
Safety/
Crime on and nearby campus 
Whether they want to do post grad studies/ law/ medicines/ vet studies 
Whether they don’t know what they want to do and have freedom to explore

All parents care where their children study but there are many factors other than highest rankings to consider. [/quote]

Yes, it's just that rankings and prestige is part of the list.

No need to look at #300 #400 something school when you can pick one from T50ish schools[/quote]
