[quote=Anonymous]I used to care about the "prestige" of a name college, but that attitude disappeared when college costs surged over $50K per year.

If you can afford Georgetown without noticing that extra $35K, well, I'd send your child to Georgetown if she wants to go there. The classes will be smaller, the environment different from UVA. My kid loved Georgetown, but she didn't apply because of the cost. I'm sure she would have been very happy there. But she's happy where she is, and it costs far less than Georgetown.

Because college costs are so insane, a lot more of the top kids are choosing to attend public colleges and universities. I know a professor at a state law school who said the quality of her students has risen astronomically during the past decade. Kids who might have gone to Harvard and Yale are coming to her state U law because of the cost. She said these kids are doing extremely well and getting great jobs after graduation because they are exceptional individuals, not because they attended XXX prestigious law school. [/quote]
