<p>do i really need to answer this question or isn't it evident?</p>
<p>i'm only in high school but even i recognize the weak methodology with this insane thread... a school with bad publicity and is cited for that isn't "prestigious" just cause its mentioned.</p>
<p>also, prestige is not important. who care what the average american thinks about where you go to school when they can't even point to where canada is on a map. it only counts in the boardroom or grad school admissions' office... i personally think the LAC's have a better reputation for undegrad education in that case</p>
