[quote=Anonymous]We have a good friend who went to a state flagship and always talked about how the network he made there, including fraternity brothers and friends he met through his activities, was far more important than his school or anything he studied. DH and I both grew up with an anti-Greek prejudice, but have really come around to this view point. Our neighborhood is filled with smart and extremely successful people who attended all sorts of random colleges but have extensive friend and business acquaintance networks that we now benefit from as well. We have plenty of friends who attended Ivies too, but they don’t stand out as better educated and certainly are not more successful as a group. This reality has helped to keep me from stressing too much about elite schools for our kids, though it’s hard to ignore those pressures around here. [/quote]
