[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't spend the $280,000 thinking everyone is going to fawn over you for being amazing parents for having a daughter at Northwestern. It just doesn't have much firepower outside of Chicago.[/quote]

I am not going to comment on anything with regard to financial worth as that is a personal decision, but the idea that Northwestern is not highly respected outside of Chicago is preposterous[/quote]

This is only true in part and no doubt post by an alum.  It’s true that the school is respected.  But it carries far more clout in the Chicago and Midwest region. It is simply not the case that it is more respected than the East Coast schools in the East.  Sorry but that is the case and that’s coming a recruiter.

First I am not an alum, I have not even visited the campus.

Second I didn’t say there weren’t schools held in higher esteem.  I didn’t say that because that would be a ridiculous discussion.[/quote]

Thank you for admitting you know literally nothing about Northwestern. But you see it top 15 in some list so it MUST be worth $280,000. It’s a solid school, to be sure, but it’s never going to impress anyone.[/quote]

Wow, you really have some bug up your butt about Northwestern. You need to get over it.

PP here. I am an east coast person in tech involved with recruiting and hiring, and among everyone I know Northwestern is a highly respected and impressive school.  So you saying "it’s never going to impress anyone" is demonstrably false.[/quote]
