[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who does not accept this? I think the caliber of people at better schools is also a reason to go there. There are some iffy folks at some of the large state schools some of my kids' friends plan to go to (we live in the South). Not interested. They will go to liberal arts schools with prep school kids. Sorry not sorry. [/quote]

Some of the best students go to state flagships for financial reasons. The top ranked colleges are filled with the best students whose parents can afford tuition. That’s a pretty important qualifier [/quote]
+1. Duh. Except top-ranked schools also have a significant percentage of low-income students who attend at low or no cost. The poor and the wealthy can afford elite schools; it's the people in between who balk at the cost. [/quote]

And if they are smart, they will continue to balk and choose to attend somewhere affordable. No school is worth going into major debt for.  Top students can find a great school that is affordable---and when they are 25 and have no/minimal student loans they will be thankful.  [/quote]
