I disagree. I went to a "tier 3" school for undergrad and then "elite" schools for post-graduate education. The difference in course and instruction quality, experience level of the professors, student ambition, and caliber of student between the classes of schools was night and day. The "mediocre" undergrads I met during my post-graduate education were as good as the best people I went to school with for undergrad.

- pcmoney 4y agoThere is a much larger gulf between Tier 3 and large state flagship research university than large state school and a perceived “elite” school (Some Ivies, Stanford, CMU etc). But TBH some of the best education I have ever received in terms of teaching quality came out of a community college.
