[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]that's a big $ difference over 4 years. With grad school in sight, I would recommend less expensive college. Nobody cares about what school undergrad degree is from, once you get a master's / first job. This is what we did - less expensive undergrad with post-grad in mind.

I went to a no-name for undergrad (basically unranked) and an Ivy for grad school.

1. No-name is a top producer of fantastic grad school outcomes. Surprise! People actually learn stuff and excel. Smart people do well anywhere.

2. In my professional life everyone has focused on the Ivy and not the undergrad school.

3. If you have the money, feel free to pay for a bigger brand name, but if you don’t have the money it seems like a poor investment. A great brand name will not magically make a grad school ignore GRE/MCAT/LSAT results or poor grades.

4. If your kid likes both schools this seems like an obvious choice, stop looking for reasons why a logical choice is the wrong one.
