[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think the majority of posters on this sub-forum are school snobs, myself included.  But I will say that my views have changed significantly over the years. My older kids went to top and tippy top schools. They’ve done great, but I don’t necessarily feel like the grind was worth it, and the education wasn’t more impressive compared to mine at a lower ranked school.

My much younger youngest got a 1510 on his junior year PSAT, so will presumably be a NMSF.  He asked what I thought about him going to Alabama on a full ride and investing the 529 funds we’ve saved for him vs. trying for an elite school. I do not dismiss this idea out of hand at all. [/quote]

My son is a NMF and chose Alabama for the full ride over Purdue, VT, Case Western, and Northeastern.

He’s doing well so far and always has the option to transfer if he wants to later or pursue his graduate degree at a more elite school. I know first hand how important connections can be in landing internships and jobs. I’ll be able to help him there so I’m not worried about his prospects after college.[/quote]
