Correct - and let’s not look down our noses at state schools

Except Penn State. Now that’s a shit school - but for reasons independent of their academic standards.

Their academic standards aren't bad

I'm not saying it's an Ivy League-caliber school academically, but in the greater scheme of things, it's certainly not a bad school academically. I did a check on US News rankings recently, and if memory serves, Penn State was about smack dab in the middle of the Big Ten. If the sole issue were academics, I'd be okay with my kid attending Penn State. Of course, it's not, so I'm not.
