<p>Salander, my point was not a contradiction to yours! </p>
<p>You have the examples suggested by PackMom. The story is probably identical in Texas, where attending UT-Austin or TAMU might be seen as the pinnacle for an overwhelming percentage of the population, as well as employers. Of course, in NC the Blue Devils might have something to say about the smartest kids picking UNC. And if NC has its share of LACs such as Davidson, the same cannot be said for Texas, with the notable exception of Southwestern and Trinity (when considered a LAC by some.) </p>
<p>LACs represent a very small element of higher education, and it is obvious that the children of professors do attend universities (public and private) to a much larger degree. Just as the percentage of the overall population would. </p>
<p>I guess that some might find this more unusual for faculty members.</p>
