I've always said, too, "You can get a good education most anywhere; 'depends
on what you put into it." I worked my a$$ off at NC State, especially the
second time. I've never felt stupid or disadvantaged, either.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Anybody there?
My wife spent a year at Hahvahd and tolerated it for what she
needed/wanted to do. It is way overrated. Most undergrad classes are
taught by grad students, and even a lot of grad classes. The main thing
they put forth is that a shingle from there gives you some kind of cred,
and if you work it well, some contacts for moving forward in the world.
If you are half-smart you can get a good education/training anywhere,
pretty much depends on what you put into it. I have a fair number of
friends who went there, they are all pretty smart, but never felt like
they got a really great deal from the experience.
These days Hahvahd seems more interested in finding minority gay
transgendered physically-challenged Englishasasecondlanguage
dumpster-living orphaned kids of color (Spanish surname extra points).
They manage to do that too, surprisingly enough.

Rich recently made an insightful post to banned about the difference

expect the difference between UNC and Ha!vard would be comparable.
Best,
