Is it better to graduate from a good private college or a state honor's college?
Asked by gottahavesportzI'm a rising high school senior, and I've been looking at all my options. I live close to UVM (University of Vermont), which is one of the top ranked state colleges in the US, and I've been offered admission into their honors college. If I stay in the program for all four years, my diploma will reflect this, and I will graduate with a special honor's degree. On the other hand, I'm also considering some elite private schools, such as Kenyon College, Wheaton, Brandeis, St Lawrence, Swarthmore and Amherst. The thing is, those schools are further from home, and they cost a lot more. For employers and graduate schools, is there a substantial (or any) advantage to a good private school over a public honors college?

there really is no difference unless you went to an ivy league school and graduated with honors. What the schools want to see is how well that you have done in the level of classes. If you can stay in the honors programs at UVM for all four years and do really good I would say do that. The only time the school might make a difference is if the employer went to the school as well, some like to hire ppl from the same school if they have a choice.
