Okay, this obviously shows that this is a pet topic of mine! Sorry to harp on it! I do believe that "no name" private schools often get a bad wrap. Sure there are some that will take anyone with a pulse and pump them full of expensive student loans (private parent loans too) and push them out into the job market after 6 or more years with little help finding a job that will help them pay off all those loans. But, that's not all of them by a long stretch. Plenty of solid, middle-of-the road private schools trying to provide an education people are willing to pay for and send their grads off into the world employable and employed. Elon is one of them.
Actually, there are LOTS of crappy state schools and junior colleges that do the same thing the crappy private schools do. I can't throw a rock in Georgia without hitting one.
