Sorry you suffer from an insecurity complex.  [/quote]
I dont think its insecurity. What are you paying extra for exactly? Small class sizes? Just do an honors program if thats the case. You need a prestigious name to cut through the 1000 applications jobs get nowadays. [/quote]

Paid "extra" for not just small class sizes, but the ability to get into what you want when you want (never had a registration issue for either of my kids, definately not the case at our state flagship), the ability to change majors as you desire, as the kid takes classes and decides.  once again, definately not the option at our state flagship. The requirement to live on campus for 2 years, and a campus where 80% live on campus (or in campus apartments) all 4 years.  That means that come Sept 30 of your freshman year, your kid is not attempting to form a group and rent an apartment for the next year, when they have been on campus only 4-6 weeks.  That can wait until Sept of Soph year (if wanting to go off campus, but at privates that often happens later in Nov/Dec), where you actually have a friend group that might remain intact the next fall.  But given that most live on campus, you don't have to worry about that until March/April of each year.
