Did you mean you found that it was the best place for YOUR driven , bright kid? Or ALL driven, bright kids? If the former, I have no problem. If the latter, then you simply looked at the wrong schools.
There are scads of schools that offer merit aid that are far better than any large state school for some driven , bright students. I have one of them, and know several more. One size doesn't fit all, now does it?
