[quote=Anonymous]I went to an Ivy, and the degree has probably helped me get places, but I think I might have been a lot happier at a smaller private liberal arts college. College admissions have changed a lot since I went to school, and now some of my older friends' brilliant kids who I would have thought of as Ivy League shoo-ins have opted for smaller colleges that really excite them rather than big ones that are supposedly more prestigious. I also notice that, among my own friends, plenty of the ones who went to less-known colleges have ended up having more interesting and exciting careers. The idea of judging a school purely by the prestige level of the colleges it gets its students into is astonishing to me, and repugnant. I can see it can be a factor, but much of this thread makes it sound as if this is the only noteworthy criterion. [/quote]
