<p>Actually, i retract my OP. I think this forum is filled with both types actually. Two UCB’s, for example (ChemEGrad and alumnus), couldn’t be more different on their focus. The former is a die hard for his alma mater; the latter is much more focused on helping undergraduates.</p>
<p>Yeah, upon reflection, this forum has several types of people that frequent it. People interested in LACs, People interested in research universities, and people interested in helping students in their college search. What i think all have in common is their interest in college’s prestige. The third group (respectively,) i think, is specifically focused on guiding undergraduates away from thinking that the prestige of their universities will determine their life prospects. And guiding them towards financially feasible universities.</p>
