[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My student-athlete niece wants to become a nurse. Isn’t the best place to do that if you’re middle class the best public university you can get into, not a random obscure private college? Public universities also have thriving intramural and club teams, right?[/quote] Not necessarily at all. Small schools often give a lot of merit aid, so are often the cheaper option. Many of my middle class friends had their kids apply to both private and public options and found the cheapest option was a private one. And private ones are much more likely to have direct entry to nursing, which is of course a priority. It sounds like your niece and her parents know more about college admissions than you do, and you should probably let them make their own choice. [/quote]
