Whether an individual can afford to attend one over the other has no bearing on answering which is the better school. That’s like saying you think a 1972 Ford Pinto is a better car than a 2018 BMW 7 series because it’s all you can afford.

It is true. I have pointed out the us news article a few times. Princeton professors discovered that equivalent students in terms of act, sat, gpa, etc., had lifetime earnings that were equal regardless of which school they attended. A 34 act student who graduates from Stanford earns the same as a 34 act from Oregon. The schools are the same but the admittance stndards are different. Being surrounded by a bunch of people who all think alike is not neccesarruily good either. Oregon provides students interactions with students from all walks of life while Stanford students all have 34 acts.
How does this thread have four pages of responses? Basically, the tl;dr version is:
- Stanford is harder to get into
- Oregon is harder to graduate from
- College rankings are fake news

This says nothing about academic rigor. All it says is that two people who are equally smart tend to earn about the same, which makes perfect sense. That cannot be used as evidence for how hard a school is or the quality of and education, because it says nothing about that. Also, just because all Stanford students are smart does not mean they are all the same. There is PLENTY of diversity at Stanford.
Oregon literally mogs Stanford in every way lol

Depends on the subject.
For instance, psychology at Stanford is intertwined with CIA.
Gender Studies has a good show at both.
Haha, you guys are such losers. Of course Stanford is several levels ahead of Oregon in academics. The difference is like comparing Kipchoge with Parker Stinson. Get it?

I coached a high school girl track athlete that Stanford wanted to recruit but they wanted her to take her standardized test again in the hopes she would get a higher score and to take an additional three advanced placement classes when she was already taking two. She was also being recruited by Oregon who had no problems with her high school transcript.
I wonder what college she chose to go to?

What's her background?
I've noticed that Asian and some upper-middle class white runners will typically choose the more academically rigorous school with not-as-good athletics programs. Lower-middle class runners and students from humble backgrounds overwhelmingly go for the lower-ranked state schools with the better athletics programs.
