I could have picked better examples, I suppose.  I went to a state school as an out of state student because it was still reasonable (James Madison was 10k a year).<p>UNH is a bad example and I shouldn&#x27;t have used it.  It&#x27;s expensive even for in-state because the state is not funding it as much as they used to.  But my point was that I wouldn&#x27;t spend Ivy money on Bates or Colby when going there is not clearly better than a state school as it would be with an Ivy.
