[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because private school parents need schools that seem appealing/impressive to other private school parents. Several schools have carved out that space by being “rich kid” schools. Tulane, Wake, Northeastern, etc. Look at their Pell grant numbers, they have some of the lowest percentages of any national university.[/quote]

Because private school parents understand how much better small class sizes and individualized attention can make an educational experience. I’d send my kid to a mid size private over any flagship.  You are free to have your own opinions and act accordingly.[/quote]

Because private school parents are ignorant about how common these things are at large universities too, especially once you get past intro classes. Schools like Tulane are their safety blanket though.[/quote]

lol, no, have fun with two years of TAs teaching classes, 300 kid plus lectures, and three kids stuffed into a double.  And forget about getting a decent advisor.  Maybe ten percent of kids at a flagship, the most motivated,  get a respectable education.

Lol thanks for demonstrating the ignorance I mentioned. You make it easy.[/quote]

Not ignorance, truth.  But keep your blinders on, your kid will get to take a few seminars as an upperclassman with maybe less than 50 kids, and then you can continue to pretend it’s something like going to a small to medium size private university.[/quote]
