In today's day and age, the distinction between "state school" and "private school" is outdated. - musubi Jul 16, 11:14 1
- yep. look at, say, engineering - cal and cal poly are right up there with the best privates. and they are choosy. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 11:20
Because you went to the *best* school for your field. Some state schools are very highly regarded in some fields. -- nm - TWuG Jul 16, 11:06 8
- like USC for medicine? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 11:11 7
  - Is that a good example? I don't know medicine. - TWuG Jul 16, 11:14
  - USC is not a state school -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:11 5
    - in. ter. es.ting. I know nothing of the san andreas fault state education system. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 11:12 4
      - CAs' four year public schools are called either "University of California..." or "California State University..." -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:21 2
        
        Except for a couple, like SDSU, SFSU, SJSU and the Cal Polys. (nm) - musubi Jul 16, 11:25 1
        
        Oh, and a couple I didn't know of: Humbolt State U, Sonoma State U, and the California Maritime Academy. - musubi Jul 16, 11:27
      - South Carolina (which also uses "usc" on occassion) is a state school, if that helps. (nm) - musubi Jul 16, 11:16
You didn't? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 16, 11:03
"gotten a job at the gay parade" -- nm - what Dano read Jul 16, 11:02 1
- (me too) -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:03
also, i think had i gone to state school instead of private, and actually worked and/or studied, i'd be better off. - TFox Jul 16, 11:02 1
- my alumni network is a huge selling point for students who want to enter more traditional business fields. largest in the world, I think. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 11:05
