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

Of course not, what a ridiculous idea!!

Lol, before I came to CC I never knew there were people who were so against state schools! I never knew there was anything wrong with them, and that’s because there is nothing wrong with them. You can save a TON of money by going to a state school, and that should really be a huge factor when considering what college you’re going to. You can spend just a few thousand a year at a state school or $30K a year at a private, Ivy, any other “top” school and you still come out with the same degree. A degree is just words on a piece of paper. What matters is what you do with the opportunities given to you and the experiences you’re able to get. It’s absolutely ridiculous that people would just assume that non-flagship state schools give you nothing in life.
