| Thank you sax for asking the question. You beat me to it. There is NO conclusive evidence that an Ivy league school does ANYTHING better than a public school; based SOLELY on the reason of them being that Ivy league school. There are plenty of times where the public school will give the student A BETTER EDUCATION!!! This, is a fact. Most everyone here has even agreed to that. if you want a degree in Archeology or Agriculture, the Ivy league school will not give you as good of an education as certain state schools. THAT IS A FACT.
The problem is; people have to rationalize the cost. When is the last time someone bought a $3000 Flat screen tv; $50,000 lexus; $50,000 rolex; etc... and said to you; "This isn't worth it, I should have bought the Ford".
There are definitely things about EACH SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY that makes them one of the BEST!!!! No one school, or even group of 10-20, are the BEST school, or automatically BETTER than a public school. |
