Obama so far: Weak and NaiveFollow

A university that receives funding from the state. Some of the conditions for funding may include quotas on students (ie, affirmation action) or specific standards for admittance. I believe, humorously, Varus attended a public university.

It's a silly talking point, as many public universities are just as well respected as private ones (for example, University of Delaware, where I graduated from, and University of Florida, where I work at). There are 30 "Public Ivies" comparable to the best of private universities.

There's mounting evidence he barely graduated from nap time.

He was a teacher for about five minutes, remember?

Ha ha, daddy lied to you.

My husband looked into being an insurance salesmen a while back. He was talking with someone at State Farm (they ended up going with someone with experience of course). But no where was college mentioned. Just have to take their classes, pass the test and that was it.

It's a good thing you left while on top, or your second week of school would have been much more painful for your GPA.

We are clearly cut from the same cloth.

Here it mostly just comes down to whether or not they are recieving state funds (and there are more laws they need to comply with if they are public). Generally speaking, this means private schools tend to be smaller and much more expensive. Though, on the flip side, the richest private schools you are essentially guaranteed to be able to attend with minimal cost if you are accepted.

You'll essentially never need to decline an acceptance to Harvard or Yale because you can't pay for it. Their class sizes are sufficiently small, and their donations/revenue sufficiently large, that you won't be expected to pay a full bill unless your family is quite wealthy. Which, to be fair, many of them are. >.<

Quite literally, I'd have half the debt (if not even less) I do now if I was going to Harvard rather than Rutgers. On the other hand, Rutgers has the best philosophy department in the country, and one of the best (if not the top) cultural history department. Since those are my majors, it works out.

I stand corrected. Ta.
