<p>Dionysus...are you seriously implying the "quality" of students at the contract colleges are of lesser value than those at the endowed? you've got some problems if thats what you're claiming. if someone wanted to study something that wasn't offered at one school, and is OOS, but his/her desired major was at one of the contract colleges, then does pay about $1K less than you would for the other schools really make one of lesser quality?</p>
<p>its people like you who start stupid **** on CC. for your information, you're also wrong about more alumni coming from "State U." CAS and Engineering (endowed) students alone make up more than all three undergrad contract colleges COMBINED. so don't you worry about the "quality" of the alumni network. i really hope you're not applying.</p>
