<p>Look guys(and gals), the reason I posted this thread a while back was because I wanted to get a perception of these schools through the eyes of young-adults who are still in high school or who are about to graduate and move on to college. I am in my 30’s and I am going back to complete the last two years of my degree. These schools are the ones I am choosing from. Look, I know people will try and post threads stating “Don’t worry about prestige, go to a school that is right for you, blah, blah, blah.” Although that is a noble gesture, it is NOT reality. I have lived in the real world for the last 13+ years, and IT DOES MATTER where you go to school. Don’t let anyone try and tell you otherwise. We all have ideas that the world is going to be a nice place as long as we are a good person, but I am here to tell you it doesn’t work that way (unforunately). It is very competetive and cut-throat. So, it does matter where you went to school and how other people preceive that instituion. Honestly, I am not trying to be like a parent and stand up here and preach. I know how these schools were perceived when I went to high school, but I wanted to get a perspective from young adults about where these schools stand in your generation. I want to hear how you guys (and gals) see these schools, academically, prestige, etc. etc.
Thanks everyone…</p>
