It doesn't mean they'll have the best resources available or be challenged in the way they would at a higher tier school,
If you think being challenged is having take home exams (based on Honor Code) as in most of the Ivys. We all know how honorable a lot those graduates tend to be in the workplace. ROTFL.

You do realize that you are the only one defending USF, right? The rest of us, from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, really could care less. I'm sure it's a good school, but it's not the palace of educational goodness you're making it out to be with graduates beyond moral reproach.
1/3 of students from my undergrad were published in academic journals by graduation- can USF's undergrads say that? A large number of our graduates are in medical school or became teachers or joined the Peace Corp or were accepted into top graduate programs, which shows we are all money grubbing crooks. Most of us volunteer and have excellent workplace records. Clearly we are all dumb, immoral people because we chose to go to a highly rated private school (which was cheaper than going to UC Berkeley or UCLA for me, even with merit scholarships from both).
Come on, tell us the truth: that fantasy makes you feel bette because you (actually your daddy) spent $200,000 to go to a private school when you could have got a better education (and definitely more challenging classes than take home exams) at a tier-3 public school for less than 1/4 the price.

No, I went to an elite private school on scholarship. After financial aid, it was cheaper for me to attend the elite college than my local state college. No take home exams, and a far better job than those who graduated in the bottom 90% of their High School classes.

Really, nobody cares about USF.
Why don't you tell us which "elite" school, boy? An what kind of "elite" job, analyst?

Amen to that! I too went to an elite private school that was cheaper than my local state school (and I definitely got a better education than I would have at Berkeley- I saw my friend's coursework and it was easy).
People don't realize how much money an elite private school has to throw at their students! Mine had over $300,000 per student in just the financial aid endowment- if you were smart enough to get in, they made sure you could afford it.

Sure, of course...nobody pays for it (not even the state since it's private). Even the poor can afford it.
The word "elite" for a college makes it automatically an "easy" school for spoiled brats.

"elite"...ROTFL
Carnegie Mellon - I work on Wall Street now. Sorry, again - just like Baggio badly missed the kick in the 1994 World Cup, USF badly misses the cut when it comes to the elite jobs on Wall Street / Consulting / elite Med School and Law school placement.
Quote:
students from families with incomes less than $60,000 who are accepted to Harvard under our regular admissions policies have no expected parent contribution for their education
Princeton was the first university to offer every aid recipient a financial aid package that replaces loans with grant aid (scholarships) that students do not pay back.
And so on and so forth. I wouldn't expect a USF grad to understand the concept of University endowment and how it relates to undergraduate financial aid.
