[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who had this very similar choice, for nursing. She is a few years out of college. Her family could have paid for the in state flagship but she didn’t want to burden them and pushed for the lower tier school over her parents’ reservations.

In terms of career, it hasn’t made a huge difference. She is a nurse and doing great.

[b]In terms of social life, I think it has made a huge difference.[/b] She went to a lower tier school and in a major that doesn’t attract high fliers. I have no doubt there are smart go getters at her school, but that’s not her circle. Her friends are noticeably different - more financial issues, family drama, more dropouts, etc. Her boyfriends have been similar. This is just her experience but to me, it felt like she ended up in a different SES. I know that sounds really snobby to say. But that is what I see.

I would think about their personality - if they aren’t that social and go along with whoever just ends up in their orbit, it could have long lasting impacts. Or maybe not! [/quote]

I think this is a good point. [/quote]

Hmmm. n=1[/quote]
