[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op blanket statements such as that are ignorant. I graduated from one of the top liberal arts schools, received a fabulous education, both in the classroom & out, went into finance & began making 6 figures by 2 yrs after graduation. I paid off all of my loans quickly & find myself tapping into the network of alums fairly regularly. I would do it all over again & encourage my children to do the same.[/quote]

I agree with this sentiment.  I graduated from a very highly-ranked small liberal arts school and have benefited in so many ways because the alum group is very powerful, loyal, and I received an excellent education.  In large part thanks to the education, I earn a very high salary now and it was the best investment I ever made.  I finished undergrad and then law school with over $100K in loans (and DH had another $100K).  I'm 34 and we have almost paid them off--the remaining balance is at super low interest rate.

What really matters is the quality of the education and the prospects after education.  If my kids want to go to pricey small liberal art schools, they had better be goods ones or no.  [/quote]
