[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering between OOS public university and top10 private university.
One of the common advices I received is that [b]public universities will make it difficult for students to get a personal attention and care.[/b]
I'm curious how much this is true compared to private universities.
Also, another advice I received is that the brand name of the private university will make a difference in the career.
I can see this in the case of HYPSM but other top10-20 private schools do really have a brand name recognition and advantages?[/quote]
Would you like your student to get tucked in at night?[/quote]

An unreasonably high percentage of people here would unironically answer yes to this question.[/quote]

Oh please, people are talking about being able to graduate in 4 years as they don’t have to fight for classes they need. Quality and personalized advising for med, law, grad school. Smaller class sizes where you can have closer relationships with profs for LOR, and so on. [/quote]

If this is what you care about then consider publics that accept AP credits and have a good honors college you can get into. You’ll get all of this and more. [/quote]

They are already at a top private that doesn’t take AP credits. Can only use to bypass intro classes and you aren’t graduating faster as no credit. Wouldn’t want to anyway. Honors colleges will have some of the perks, agree with that part. [/quote]
