MIT was a great experience, but in retrospect, I could have gone to a state school and paid a fraction of the tuition for an experience of similar quality.

Any large state school has all the same resources as MIT; the difference is that MIT FORCES their undergrads to take a heavy, challenging academic load. At a state school, you make your own experience- as easy or as difficult as you desire.

Thus, if you're a truly self-motivated student who will seek out challenging graduate-level classes and independent research opportunities, a large state school is MUCH better value.
