So by going to one of the top public schools in the nation for 4 years that costs about 1.8 years at NU, you aren't getting a good education?

I could go to community college for two years, then go on to a cheap, public state school and get "a better education" than 10 years at Northwestern.

It's not all about what is in the books boys and girls.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

There are pros and cons of private and state schools. It's stupid to say which is a better choice. Most people that chose state schools are going to say private schools are a waste of money, and most people going to top private are going to say that others are just jealous that they couldn't get in.

That is my theory at least.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

Not many people pay the full price of a private college, at least the upper echelon ones. For example, Northwestern is actually about the same or cheaper than the UCs would be for me or for out of state tuition at Ill.

You are right, its not all about the books, and any smart driven kid at any state school will outperform a lazy slacker from an upper echelon private.

I'm not defending the other guys statement about "LOL, state school," because I could've easily ended up at one too. However, a top private school has resources that a good public just cant offer.

If I had to pay full price at Northwestern or any other private, I wouldn't be going there, I'd be at UCLA, UCSD, or Cal, and you'd be right. But a lot of people assume anyone going to a private is leaving with 160k in debt, which is just not the case for most people.

Going into senior year and had never heard that before =(

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

Man you guys are making me so jealous. I graduated in '03 and even though I'm in LA now, I can confidently say that it hasn't been a fraction as great as college was.
There will never be another time in your life where there are so many opportunities that are made for meeting new people and hooking up.
I may come back at some point this year to do a show with my old improv group (I used to be prez of Spicy Clamato) and I can't wait. Just hope I'm not the gross 26 year old dude on campus (although I guess there are plenty of grad students that old or older).

Remember, in a week when you're banging some drunk freshman on the Quad, to truly enjoy it, because it doesn't last forever. Oh yeah, and of course get a good education too, etc.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

And Go Illini! How is our bball team supposed to be this year? Have we officially slipped back to what we were a decade ago, a not horrible 25-50 team?

They will be pretty [censored]. We didn't really get any top tier recruits, and we lost almost all of our scoring output from last year (McBride/Carter). Pruitt and Randle will provide some experience to help win some games, but overall I think this will be a mediocre season. NCAA's would be a longshot, NIT is probably more realistic.

I've done Orange Krush the last two years - frosh year with Dee and Augie still there was awesome when we were flirting with the top ten all year. Last year was OK as we still made the tournament, but we lost 3 games at home, which is the same amount as the previous 6 years.

If anyone here likes basetball, do Krush/season tickets at least one year - the games are really fun to go to.

IM PUMPED FOR FOOTBALL!!!!

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

It really is cute how Illinois is getting so excited for football now.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

So I hear that Indiana has better frat parties than U of I hands down. Yes/no??

Uhh, every team in the Big Ten has had its down years and bad recruiting classes, etc. The tide is turning for the better in Champaign, so STFU.

Frat parties suck hardcore.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

i learned way more at u of i outside the classroom than inside. i'm not sure if that's a brag or beat, though. i'd send my kids there in a heartbeat but i'd also tell them to look at private schools if that's what they wanted to do.

i think most people that look down at state or public schools generally do so because they feel insecure about something regarding their college experience and/or personal life.

my roommate and some of my best friends went to uchicago and Nwestern and every single one of them said the girls were horrible and the parties sucked. they all have good jobs, though.

i can tell you for a fact that the girls and parties at u of i don't suck, but only some of my friends that went there got good jobs.

if you are smart and work hard while attending a (decent) public school you will have nearly as many opportunities when you graduate as you would at a private school. it's just most kids get too caught up in how much fun they are having to get that 3.75 or whatever.

go illini, though. best 4 years ever. i look forward to comeing back to campus once or twice this year.

Re: Ship it Holla Illini???
 

As usual, Taylor finds a way to sound way more mature than I ever could even though he is almost 15 years younger. But, as an Illinois grad, I couldn't possibly agree with him any more. I believe U of I represents the perfect combination of education, partying and girls. While they might not be first in any of these, they are near the top in all for Midwestern schools. And even with the ridiculous tuition increases over the last 10 years, it is still a bargain relative to the Notre Dames, Michigan, and NWs of the world.

And nothing better than the final Four in 05, right in our backyard at St. Louis. Sure beats watchign Notre Dame and Michigan get their butts handed to them in every big game.
