You get what out of your university what you put into it. If you attend your top state school, go into an employable field, and put in a lot of effort you won't need to emigrate. Did I miss out on some fabulous career path because I chose my state school over Drexel, Urbana, etc.? That's not entirely fair comparison for every student because Virginia Tech is a phenomenal engineering school. The point still stands though, are there any states in the USA that don't have a high quality state school?
