[quote=Anonymous]At a minimum, you get a great campus, great professors, more attentive administrators, and great financial aid.

The financial aid is all grants, not loans. Also, there are “scholarships/grants” for study abroad and about any project you want to undertake.

There is funding to keep kids on campus for jobs and research opportunities during the summer. If there are better opportunities elsewhere, students can apply for stipends to subsidize rent, airfare and other costs, especially in big cities.

The overall atmosphere is nicer. When you live and work in a great physical environment with great students, professors, and administrators, everyone is happier. There is a synergy that creates optimism and supports and encourages     initiative and achievement. Everyone wants good things for each other because there are so many opportunities for everyone. This extends to alumni, who readily support the university with financial gifts, but also hire graduates.

Students get the lifelong tailwind of such bounty through their education, connections, jobs/careers, and graduate school admissions.
