[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the big issues with OPs statement is that there doesn't seem to be a clear definition of an "average" college as opposed to an "above average" college. OP, what's your definition of an "average" college? [b]I'd say that the top 50 national universities (as ranked by USNWR) are above average. [/b]The same goes for the top 50 LACs. Would you accept that definition OP?[/quote]

No. Average to below. Top twenty: above average. Top ten: excellent.

Out of the top fifty: don't even bother. It's not worth the paper it's printed on.[/quote]

Yeah, those people should just go work at Jiffy Lube. How dare they?[/quote]

I wouldn't send them to Jiffy Lube, but I won't clear out my savings, retirement, home equity to send my children to a low ranked undergrad. And I [b]most certainly wouldn't bend over backwards to spin[/b] that the college is some great place — which every parent of average kids does. Just give it a rest.[/quote]

Wow.  You are truly a terrible human being.  Why do you even care if someone is excited about a low-ranked school?  How does it hurt you?  [/quote]

It doesn't hurt me. It's just embarrassing your family. Sorry you lack self-awareness.[/quote]

I think you're a bit confused on who is embarrassing here.[/quote]
