[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The terminology really doesn't matter.  OP clearly meant flagship to be the most selective state school in the state.

The fact that Michigan is 50% OOS and Georgia Tech only 10% is most pertinent, and suggests that being OOS at GT could be socially isolating. [/quote]

I fail to see what difference it would make if a student was in-state or OOS.  No one ostracizes someone simply because they're from another state.  This is a bizarre way of thinking.  My DC attends an OOS school in which most kids come from that state.  No one cares![/quote]

It absolutely matters. Friend groups from high school move to college together at schools that are 80%+ in state. It is hard to break into that kind of a social scene, get accepted into Greek life, etc. They all already know one another! [/quote]

Just ask any oos kid at Texas how hard it is to join a fraternity. [/quote]

How hard?[/quote]

That’s secondary.

You want your liberal minded DC or NYC raised kid to go to an SEC school dominated by southern Christian gun toting republicans? Talk about culture shock. [/quote]

UT-Austin is extremely liberal you ignorant Dobbs  Dork.[/quote]

The campus or city doesn’t matter. The state (where laws are made) does.[/quote]
So your kid can’t go to Dartmouth? [b]You think your kid will have a happy-go-liberal time in upstate New York? How[/b] about rural California? What about rural Oregon where the KKK is still very active?[/quote]

Yes at University of Rochester (which is technically Western New York, not upstate.) [/quote]
