[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No such thing. Only people who thrive at Tailgate States are the wealthy average IQs who party it up in Greek life, couldn’t care less about academics or learning — or attending 600-student lectures and nil support — then work mom and dad’s connections for a good job.[/quote]

This sounds a bit like sour grapes.

My DH went to a top private (for undergrad and law school), and his friends are successful, but not more so than my friends from "Tailgate State."

For the small subset from Tailgate State that do have connections to get a good job, do you think that students at privates do not use connections to get good jobs?[/quote]

I guess they didn't teach you about outliers, anecdotes and confirmation bias at your Tailgate State. [b]Tailgates States are largely diploma mills for middle class and dull UMC alcoholics in Greek life.[/b][/quote]

Generalize much? Just about every state flagship has an honors programs where there are tremendous opportunties to study with great faculty and fellow students.[/quote]
