> I'm betting that your friend got a good education without laying out too much cash. State supported schools such as MTSU are an education bargain. Times may have changed, but when I was there, most people were very serious about getting educated. People who went to college for other reasons usually went to "partytime" schools. My life has been better because of the time I spent there, and my two daughters, also MTSU alumni, would say the same thing.

Yes; what you say dovetails perfectly with what she's said of her experiences there so far.

As for state-supported schools being such an education bargain, I couldn't agree more. After all, I'm at a state school myself, and I feel that I'm getting just as solid an education as those who are paying through the nose to attend a private college.
