I went to a state school with the mindset that: 1) It'd be cheaper 2) It's still a solid education that will get me a job 3) I would have time to party and work on my own projects, rather than be at the whim of a professor's latest epic dull assignment The result? 3.7 GPA and have run a successful entertainment blog, have two Facebook apps with 550,000 users, and hopefully announcing my web startup in the next month. Also have a job locked in at a top engineering company, should I choose to work for them. Certainly not saying there weren't stressful times, just much less of them and far more time to enjoy what you really like to do.
