I think if your kid is going to work and live in the region where their school is located, it is a good thing, but it also depends on what their major is and the comparable “state U”. For instance Baylor/TCU versus Texas? Texas would be the better option. Baylor/TCU versus LSU/Alabama/auburn? Baylor /TCU are simply better schools. But there are many other factors such as class size, overall size of the school, location, campus, etc that should drive the decision.

The just really depends how much one cares about name recognition, and other factors. Outside of top 25, it really does not matter unless you graduate from West Podunka Truck drivers U.
