I'm not sure what a "good or better" school is. People can/do get very good education at state universities, including those in states like ND, etc. The mystique for Harvard frankly is hard to fathom when so many of the MAGAs come from those elite schools! And yes, all those state schools have become more expensive, thanks to cuts in state budgets.

A good or better school is to me, generally one of the ones you've heard of. That's a lazy mental shortcut, but I know damn well it goes on all the time. That isn't to say you can't get a good education at a school that isn't well known, but outside of various specialties, your odds are better (for employment opportunities) at an Ohio State, USC, Texas, Northwestern, Rutgers, etc., etc., than they are at Youngstown State, Zane State, Blufton, Ohio Northern, Slippery Rock, Wayne State, etc., etc.
I only used Harvard as an example of what is considered top flight not remotely keeping up with population growth.
I used the term 'good or better' to try and get past any notions of comparing schools at the large state schools and above. That Northwestern is a 'better' school than Ohio State or that Texas has a better environmental law program than Harvard (I have no idea) is beside the point I was trying to make.
