[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I keep having this conversation with my husband. He's from a tight knit ethnic family and he keeps pointing out that our neighbors whose kids went to local colleges get to see their grandchildren more. Keeps asking how likely it is that a kid who goes to college in Vermont or California will end up settling down anywhere near us.[/quote] This is such a good point. Also, sometimes if you are from the midwest, for example, but go to a prestigious east coast college, it can almost make it harder to get a job back in the midwest, if that's what you choose. Normal employers here either haven't even heard of something like Amherst, OR they don't really want someone from Yale in their office because they think it's snobby. Someone who goes to the local state college or regional private school, however, is often looked upon very favorably.[/quote]
