[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a bad deal if you are full-pay because OOS is still less than full-pay private which is now approaching $96k at privates like USC[/quote] OK, but aren't the [b]resources available for students at state flagships significantly lower than at top privates[/b]? And how does it matter that the peer group (and eventual alumni network) is so geographically focused?[/quote] There is so much missing here. 1. Most students aren't going to get into "top privates" (whatever that means to you). They need to cast a wide net. No admission is guaranteed. 2. In the top 25 national private universities, only 1 (Cornell) is larger than 10K students. Some kids don't want a smaller or mid-sized school. They want a different experience at 18. 3. It's a misconception that the resources are necessarily better at privates. You are paying more, but it doesn't always translate to a "better" academic experience. [/quote]
