Otherwise - go to a good state school for undergrad, save money, and spring for grad school at a name school. Sure, there are other terrific private schools - but I don't think most of them are worth the tuition when you compare what they'll provide versus what a good state school will provide for a fraction of the cost. But that's just my obviously biased opinion - which I held long before having any association with either Harvard or MIT...;-) On 8/31/06 8:11 PM, "Frank Filippone" <red735i@earthlink.net> wrote: > Don, I must agree that you have posted all GOOD reasons to send your kid to > Harvard.....
