[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NJ and NY didn't need a state flagship the way Wisconsin did. They have ivies. [/quote]

This is true…plus MIT and all the SLACs.

BTW…Rutgers is 41 and Wisc 39…so, not even sure where the thread is coming from.[/quote]

It’s a Wisconsin troll that appears from time to time. This thread is about boosting UWisconsin[/quote]

I concur.  It’s so obvious. Always mentions how few people live in Wisconsin and how great the school is in spite of the state’s population.   The fact is that it’s not so great anymore compared to other top publics.  [/quote]

Has it really declined, or is just not that trendy at this moment? Even if its bias, I think it’s objectively clear that one of the worst long term investments would be UT Austin, U Georgia, U Florida, or any other contemporarily popular universities that will be adversely affected by climate change. I just don’t get the logic here. [b]Why would parents send their kids to schools like Florida or Miami out of state ( schools, keep in mind, which were nothing 20 years ago) only to contemplate whether the campus will even still be there in 40 years[/b].

It only takes 4-6 years to obtain an undergraduate degree.  They should be okay.[/quote]
But they have to live through hurricanes in those 4 to 6 years.

[quote]An FSU freshman, Mia Cyanovich, 18, [b]booked a $1,000 roundtrip ticket [/b]to fly back home to Pittsburgh. Her mother, who grew up in Tampa, warned her about the devastation across southwest and central Florida from Hurricane Charley in August 2004. “I don’t know what it’s like to be without power and heating for weeks on end,” she said. Her mother “really wanted me to come back and evacuate. She was panicking – as every parent was – because all the models were saying the hurricane was supposed to hit directly at Tallahassee. She was like, ‘Get the heck out of there.’”

Gotta factor in the flight cost for hurricane evacuation into the college cost.[/quote]
