[quote=Anonymous]Kids who have a clear professional goal in,ind when they enroll in college, especially if that goal requires grad school, don't really need to worry about where they go for undergrad. They need to excell, not spend more than they can afford, and learn stuff so they can get into a terrific grad program. My husband went to UofToronto but then on to London School of Econ, so that became his calling card, not his undergrad. Kids who are talented but floundering in the goals dept. benefit from a place like Yale (where I attended) to put them in daily contact with the brightest students and faculty in the world to help stimulate their imagination about what their calling might be in life. Yale made me feel like I had finally found my people after years in a mediocre rural public school district. [/quote]
