Can you get a good education at a non-flagship state school?

Absolutely – my son is a graduate of a CSU in California and is doing fine. He had some exceptional opportunities there and it definitely was a good choice for him.

My son was NMF, straight A student in high school. The reason he ended up at the CSU was that he was a transfer – he started out at a US News tier 1 LAC, but dropped out after 2 years. In hindsight that was one of the better decisions he has made in life.
