[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top Ivy, and if I had to do it again, I'd do the community-college-to-state-school thing. I'd have saved money to spend on grad school (which might really matter more to our own children). I think it's a great deal, and if you're a good enough student to have a chance at an Ivy, you will be able to shine. Of course, I'm open to people telling me that I can only say this because I don't realize how fortunate I was to have a high quality of education...and of course, I would not have brought the same pride upon my parents.

(I had a WONDERFUL education, my professors were top-notch, I was SO lucky, but I feel like it all was squandered on a young person who just wanted to get away from home for the first time...sometimes when you spend your whole life working to get into Harvard, by the time you are done with Harvard you're just too darn tired to keep it all up...I will not push my own kids so hard because of the number of my own college friends who have suffered from depression or mental health issues as adults.)[/quote]
