[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC (home on break) is currently an undergrad at an Ivy, we are a full pay family that saved in a 529. Yesterday he told me that thinking back to the college process he now finds it funny that he worried about location, school spirit etc, while it has all of that and he loves it he said was he really loves is the academic environment.  He said his professors, the labs, the libraries and all of the other students are inspiring and he feels like he learns and grows every day.  
To me that is worth it. . . [/quote]

That’s great that he is happy, but he could have that same level of satisfaction at countless schools.  There is no way to know how he’d feel elsewhere - this isn’t a controlled experiment.[/quote]

No but over the break he has gotten emails from several of his professors commending his work and it occurred to me that probably wouldn’t have happened if he had gone to one of the public flagships he was also accepted to . . .  I leave it to the parents with kids at UVA, Cal etc to chime in and correct  me if that is also true of the professors at those schools in regards to undergraduates [/quote]
