[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and no. I got a great education @ a CTCL on a mix of merit and FAFSA, worked for a decade on an incredibly exciting international issue, attended an Ivy for grad, and went on to more exciting work. Met a great DH and have wonderful kids. Sadly they are aware that there are plenty of judgy people about where their mother went to college. "Where is that?"

Frankly, I probably would not have had that first part of my career as there were less than a handful of colleges in the US with that opportunity and none with that depth. So, it was great for me and I also know that my kids did not want that kind of "anonymity" for themselves. [/quote]

[b]Holy crap. Is this real?  Your kids get asked this?[/quote][/b]

I've been in a lot of schools, public and private, and I've never heard anything like that.  I went to a small second or third-rate college on the west coast.  No one has every said anything about it.  Or to my kids.  Frankly people don't care that much.  So either PP is trolling for fun or has an issue[/quote]
