[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My SIL works at a small private university that is not particularly selective [/b](so getting in was not an issue) and offers full tuition remission to students of faculty & staff attending the school. My nephew commuted (&lt;10 minutes) years 2-4 and graduated well-positioned financially.[/quote]

THIS&gt;. I think when people post on DCUM that &quot;so and so gets free tuition!!&quot;, they do not consider that the schools to which this policy applies are NOT DCUM approved schools. [/quote]

I think when you work at a top school (as faculty), being able to say that you work(ed) at say, Harvard or Penn is considered a large part of the compensation package. In my experience, many profs at such schools aren’t looking to be professors long-term and want a jumping-off point to enter venture capital, tech, politics etc. I’d imagine the availability of research grants and institutional stability, i.e. is this school going to exist long-term or close down, is stronger at top schools.[/quote]
