I don’t mean to be contrary, but actually, I think that schools with more money DO offer better educations/experiences. They can pay their faculty more, thus attracting better and more faculty (so smaller class sizes), they can offer their students more opportunities (meaning, funded summer travel and the like), they have well maintained state of the art facilities (which probably mean more in the STEM fields). Better, more interesting speakers and cultural events. Way better financial aid (Williams, at the top there, not only has eliminated loans in their financial aid packages, they’ve eliminated work study requirements too. Plus they give money for travel to and from the school). I could go on and on!
