[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a definite trend towards urban schools and big state universities.

One of my kids goes to a liberal arts college and the other a huge rah-rah football university. They both have their pros and cons.  [/quote]

I also have a kid at a SLAC and another at a big state school. My SLAC kid graduated HS a few years ago, and there were quite a few kids going to SLACs that year. It does seem like the last couple of years the trend has been toward publics.

I think it’s primarily economic; DCTAG at all but the most expensive state schools really does make a difference, and that’s meaningful to a lot of DCPS parents. And things really do feel more economically precarious overall the last couple of years. Although in my younger kid’s case, they just really wanted the big school environment; we could afford private, but this kid applied almost exclusively to big state schools. [/quote]

I was coming to say the same. OOS publics have been popular since DCTAG was passed and I imagine interest will only increase in this economy plus the increased grant. I have a HS junior and we have added a bunch of public universities to our list of college tours.[/quote]
