Public or private totally depends on the kid. Contrary to popular belief, private schools can actually be CHEAPER than public.
If you have good grades/test scores from high school, you can land massive scholarships at privates.
Also, financial aid and federal loans can often be way more lucrative at privates.
And the biggie... IMO private schools are worlds ahead of public. Hmm what classroom would you rather learn in? A 18-student room taught by a doctorate, or a 300-student lecture hall, copying notes from a TA?
All the stereotypes can be broken. Privates can have just as big of sports teams (USC, Auburn, Duke, etc...) and just as big of parties, what more do you hypebeast NTers want?
SMU ftw...
Word, best believe I'm gonna be bustin my %$# for every scholarship I'm eligible for. There's also the grants and workstudy jobs. And I was looking at UOP's Greek life-- they got a music fraternity, and that opens up even more scholarships since I'm a music major.
Good looks on the grades. Care with the music frat though, is it Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia? I pledged to that for a week before I dropped, dudes were more into holding hands and reciting chants than jamming.
Aww what??? Well, I'm planning to transfer to UOP, and I've never been in a fraternity before...I thought all that cult #@!++*%* was just me watching too much television, guess not! We'll see how this goes. I don't see the point in these organizations if they're not productive.
And the guy that goes to SMU: It's Saint Mary's College, right? How's it going so far and what is it like as a student?
I actually go to Saint Mary's University, it's in Winona, Minnesota. I love it, I'm in the middle of my sophomore year.
