<p>British English ‘postgraduate’ = American English ‘graduate’. That’s what RML meant.</p>
<p>If one defines the modern university as a place where a young man can get plastered and hook up with a different gal every night of the week, can write papers the night before and study for midterms the day before, to walk out a socially well-adjusted adult with an impressive GPA and all the lay prestige in the USA…</p>
<p>then I agree that the elite public universities are the way to go.</p>
<p>Hell, if you have to decide between paying 36,000-44,000 in-state for Michigan or Berkeley, and 52,000+ for a liberal arts college, and all you want to do is have a great time, get a strong degree, and enter the real world prepared, the decision becomes clear-as-day.</p>
