There is another thread on here about whether people on DCUM have real friendships with people they met in undergrad. The main thing I took away was that the people who went to big state schools don't, while many of those at the SLACs and elite schools do. [/quote]

Interesting takeaway. I have not read that thread.

In real life, the friendship bonds formed at large state universities tend to be strong and lifelong. One reason is that they have a lot in common such as where they live & where they grew up & going to major sporting events together (such as college football games). And they do business with one another.

Incredibly strong lifelong bonds result from attending state university law schools together. Florida, Georgia, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee, etc. The friendships are often so strong that  I won't even talk about it.

Craziest alumni groups I have encountered are at large Southern schools like Florida State, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, etc. So many friends from large and medium state universities live in the same region and attend the same events throughout much of their lives.

I assure the PP that real--very real--unbreakable, lifelong friendships are made at large state universities.

LACs are concentrated in New England and Pennsylvania. The major cities in the East seem dominated by large state schools like Penn State ad Rutgers while Ivy League grads also populate the major east coast cities.

So many LAC grads continue on to grad school or law school and make lasting friendships there as well as from their undergrad years.

The west coast is also dominated by large regional schools.
