I attended a large, highly rated and popular University for my undergraduate degree. Twenty years later I got my masters from a school I had never heard of before.
It opened my eyes to how utterly abysmal my undergraduate education was.
When it came time to send my oldest child to school it was readily apparent that the larger, more popular, and well-regarded an institution is, the more awful it’s actual ability to educate.
Big, popular schools are focused on politics, not education.
When people continue to pay full tuition for online education, we will find out how much the credential (name of college on diploma) is worth vs how much the actual education is worth.
I agree. I had two sons go to a smaller private university and one went to a Big 10 university. The Big 10 grad (PU), while at a smaller campus in Indianapolis, the student services sucked. The private university- UE- rocked it! I would not send another kid, if I had one, to a large university.
I can’t wait until the good teachers go rouge and set up their own course inventory.
