[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a graduate of a good state flagship U who has kid that landed in one of those "elite" universities, I will tell you that I never realized the extent of the differences between the two until seeing the experience of my DC. I loved my college experience and it got me eventually into the professional school and career I hoped for, but the comparison is like apples and oranges - the people, opportunities, the education, the confidence quietly instilled. I never understood it before. I almost wish I didn't understand it now. For 40 years I argued against any meaningful positive differences, but I just didn't know. [/quote] Heh. I'm the opposite. I attended an elite school, and am sending my kid to a good state flagship U. If you have unlimited money, sure, elite schools are the way to go. For the rest of us mere mortals, the difference is not worth $180K. [/quote]
