I don't really understand why some people become so desperate to get into a "prestigious" university. Honestly, I know people who have gone to Yale, Harvard, etc. and they say the quality of the education is really not that much different from a "normal" university or even community college. I suppose in the 90s or earlier, going to a high end university might have been beneficial, but in today's world I can't see the point of wasting so much money for a degree that doesn't matter a whole lot. I'm studying Advertising Design and East Asian Studies at my local university, and already have a job lined up with a big company in Shanghai, which I got more through networking, my nationality and showcasing my skills more than the name of the school I went to or type of degree I'm getting.
