The answer is yes. Everyone in my family went/goes to a non-flagship state u.
If we did not feel we got a good education, we would not have let our kids go there.

Most non-flagships have some great programs that aren’t even offered at the flagship. In our state, the flagship does not offer engineering or architecture. Two non-flagships offer those degrees. The state u. that graduates the most most nursing majors per yr. is a non-flagship. Same with education majors.
Lots of the smartest kids fr. our h.s. just don’t want to go to the flagship and choose one of the other state u’s. It’s all a matter of fit, preference and offerings in your preferred interests.

You can get a good education at a non-flagship.

As others have said, it is def. what you make of it.
