Honestly, state schools are the way to go for undergraduate education. Having attended both a top 15ish university and a standard State U, I'd choose State U hands down. Better environment, more enjoyable people, and a lot less $$$.

Unless you're going to Wharton undergrad or a top-notch engineering field, why bother with all that expensive tuition?

Save the money for UVA, Chicago, or Penn Law. Much better return for your money there. Same thing goes for business schools. Not really medicine.

In Calif. we have Community (Junior) colleges where you can get the 1st 2 years G.E. requirements out of the way (for pennies on the 4yr inst.) & fully transfer to a 4yr.state college or state university.
