Public universities

Many public universities across the nation are dealing with rising tuition costs and higher applications for admissions. Stastically, it shows that public schools have raised tuition prices over the course of the last ten years. What schools may find in times of economic trouble are more cuts in programs and faculty. Private schools offer a name, just as many prestigous public schools do. But what attracts students to private schools? There are students who may not be able to afford the private school they attended, but is it really for the name? Or do private schools offer some sort of experience that is more appealing than a public school. I know after having the option of going to a boarding school for high school instead of going to my towns public school that there is a difference. There is a sort of community and legacy bond that happens when students attend private schools. Later and later generations are seen as assets so the school will admitt the best of the best (in some cases). I think that there is a difference in which school you attend. Many people who could easily afford a 43,000$ a year education opt to go to state schools. It isn't about paying the most, it is about experience. If apublic school experience is what you are looking for, go there, just like a private experience.
