Damn that's Apex Tech territory
 
Interesting that my alma mater is 280 but when I went there us news named it the best value in the country. My undergrad degree is worth nothing now. It got me my first job and everything after that was earned in the working place. I work work people from Harvard, MIT, Oxford, etc and I do the same job as them. The only difference is I had to do more climbing and then had a more direct and shorter path.

Agreed. Most of the battle is just foot in the door. After that you control your own destiny and dont take a back seat to anyone
 
Stanford is free if your parents make under $60,000, and deeply discounted if they make under $100,000, so that definitely makes it a bargain given the quality of education.

People likely scoff when they see a name like that, but you are probably pretty much guaranteed a job upon graduation.

I remember a similar school title in Colorado when I was searching for schools many moons ago.

Does this have any impact on our ability to recruit? I know that sounds like a crazy question, but some of these kids are somewhat interested in academics. Being #646 when most of our BE rivals are in the top 250 is a huge difference.

They are on scholarship, so they will get their money's worth.

I think SJU is numerically better on actual "Top colleges" lists.

School of mining one way of starting in a hole :woohoo: :woohoo:
 
What is the price difference between SH and SJU? Can't imagine them being so far separated academically and financially.

My company has a few people from the Colorado school who make a nice buck. One former employee from there is currently making a great tax free salary over in Dubai.
