This doesn't necessarily mean the cheapest school, but factor in financial aid/scholarships to determine the least costly. I graduated from a top 20 university a couple of years ago, and looking back on it, the only ways in which going to a more "prestigious" school may help you would be if you're going into business or shooting for an extremely competitive graduate program. Even then, you may end up changing your mind about your future, so stick with the one that will cost the least for you.Stingy Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522977168170519910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16217624.post-1162602797637580272006-11-03T17:13:00.000-08:002006-11-03T17:13:00.000-08:00I think that there are about two dozen prestigious...I think that there are about two dozen prestigious school that are worth the money for the education, reputation, and connections that you can make. If you can't get into these schools you are better off at a state school. The cost flexibility that state schools allow is critical to allow young people to chase the career path ( easier to change career path or to take a enriching low paying job) that they want to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16217624.post-1162433210715212422006-11-01T18:06:00.000-08:002006-11-01T18:06:00.000-08:00The is probably a list of about 20 - 25 Private In...The is probably a list of about 20 - 25 Private Institutions in the US that I think are worth the tuition based on reputation, quality, opportunities.
