[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a college town, similar to College Park, MD, but in the Midwest. 2/3 of my graduating class went to college and of those 1/3 went to the local state school. Lots of kids went to the state school because they needed or wanted to live at home. Lots of kids went there because their parents worked there and they got a tuition discount. Lots of kids went there because that’s where their parents, siblings, teachers, coaches, and friends went. And it’s a perfectly good school for lots of kids who aspire to be a teacher or a nurse - two very popular majors. There is nothing wrong with thinking you had a great childhood and being happy where you live and wanting to replicate that life in adulthood. Not everyone needs to strive to have a high powered job and an impressive resume. Some people, dare I say most people, just want to live in a modest house and raise their family. [/quote]
