[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After sophomore year they will insist that everyone is moving out. They can't possibly live in a dorm or campus apartment. It will be cheaper. The will work to help pay for it. Don't buy any of this. Your student's chances of persisting to graduation drop off a cliff, statistically, once they move off campus. I know. I'm a dinosaur. Flame away. It's the truth.

#PublicUniversityProblems

Public universities have too many kids, too few dorms, the gap between bottom 20% and top 20% is vast, and there are too few faculty to have face-to-face interaction with struggling kids.

At a public U if you're goofing off you can EASILY find other goofs to clown around with. Miss class for months? Nobody cares. Fail all your classes? Nobody cares. Go home and never come back? Nobody cares.

At decent privates you ditch one class everyone knows. [b]Your door is getting knocked on by faculty. Your classmates are going to bother you. You'll be seen as abnormal. You can't fly under the radar at a decent private.[/b][/quote]

This was untrue at Harvard.  [/quote]

Also untrue at Columbia and Northwestern.[/quote]
