Duly noted. There is an intangible value to attending a high profile university, such as MIT. BTW, when I was leaving the service, I traveled to MIT to check it out as I was selecting a university to attend. Back in '81 they told me the tuition was around $13K per year. I thought at that time I could never afford that of my GI education grant.
Spent the weekend there tho, talking to the students. I remember this one corridor, the students called it the "infinite" corridor, as it was so long. Probably long gone by now.
