[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College students care much less about museums and culture than parents. Students choose OOS flagships bc they want a big school, big sports experience. These schools are mostly in cities where the university is the center of the city.

It’s not for everybody, but many students like the traditional college experience. [/quote]

Absolutely agree.  They want the big school, big sports experience - it's not because the towns of the OOS flagships are so great in comparison to their home cities.  [/quote]

I don’t think the towns even necessarily need to be “better”. Just being somewhere different is fun. [/quote]

I agree.  We have twins that wanted totally different experiences than Wash DC offers (coming from private schools).  They do want the bid school experience , big sports included. One is going to the University of Texas.  The other is going to PSU.  Vastly different schools in some ways.  To each their own.  We live in DC proper, and both kids said they would never stay in DC for school or even Virginia.  They both were accepted to Georgetown and UVA but wanted to attend college farther away from home.  I'm excited for them.  Who know's how it turns out. [/quote]
The Georgetown app is a total PITA. Why go through that if you "would never stay in DC for school"? [/quote]

Yeah, count me as another skeptic.[/quote]
