<p>Yes, I agree. But is that healthy? I mean when you go out into the big bad mean world will anyone pay that much attention to you? What you learn in a big public university is all about getting into the real world. Do you really want to be made hostage by the “professor’s” view from when s/he was hired and kept pristine clean for 20 years in the middle of nowhere? You’ve seen those movies and they are true! Those small private colleges are all about the egos and little lives of the profs living in their tiny universes! Let your child loose and experience what is happening now! I am all about the public university. And guess what? I teach at one!</p>
