    Is Willamtte any good academically? I tend to be anti private school unless it’s elite enough to merit the cost.

    I have no idea. I only mentioned the two Oregon schools I know other than the gas pumpers in our conference because my cousin went to George Fox and my dad went to Willamette. Both are pretty smart and got advanced degrees and aren’t fuck ups, but that’s obviously a tiny sample.

    Agree on private schools in general. I’ve got a couple of years to convince my kid that Penn State is not worth the money over Virginia schools.

    My row boat dude, you are chocked full of public ivy’s in VA. It’s ridiculous. UVA plus William and Mary. Fuck Pedo St, no offense to Mrs @whlinder of course.

    Shockingly, UW isn’t ranked that far of Oregon bright now. UW is 58 and Oregon is 103.

    We? Are behind a lot of schools I would view as inferior.

    Oh I know, but the girl likes football. So she wants to go to Penn State. I’m working on it.
    I’m throwing stones in a glass house with that since I didn’t apply to UVA or any other Virginia school.

    UW is better than that but with it being so big the amazing things it does get averaged down. I know a lot of UVA people and I swear that for the quantitative fields UW is way better.

    As a fellow Virginia resident, unless she's getting into McIntire, I agree that UW is probably better for the quant-ish stuff.

    For lowly liberal arts degrees, UVA or William and Mary are definitely better. UW is a relatively unknown quantity out here.

    Penn State is the ASU of the Northeast.

    But with a little bit of extra child raping on the side
