[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this might be a good thing. If a college is outside the t75 I question why it exists/why people attend. Even Penn State level places are sort of questionable... Bottom line is no one will be missing much.[/quote]

Why is the number 75 special to you?

There are hundreds of colleges below t75 where people train to become nurses, for example.

Now, a liberal arts degree at a low ranked school, you better be rich before you go. [/quote]

Not to mention most of the state flagship universities. By this reckoning, many states shouldn't have any universities at all so you think all intelligent, motivated people should have to go elsewhere for an education?[/quote]
Most already do. [/quote]

Most college students stay close to home - median distance 94 miles, 75th percentile is only 230 miles. It's higher among those with high SAT scores -- 234 miles for 1500+ and 179 for 1400-1490. But that's still not far and for many students is likely their state's top university.
