Stay-at-home-mom insults sister-in-law for attending a branch campus of University of Toronto because she attended the main campus: 'I asked how she's using her degree'

When you're applying to college, the ranking of the schools is always in the back of your head. You want to attend the most prestigious school you can get into, but there are factors that can prohibit that. Cost is a big one. Ivy League schools usually have better financial aid than most top 20 schools, but if you want to go to University of Chicago or Duke out of state, it will likely cost you at least $70K a year. For many high-achieving students, it makes way more sense to attend University of Oklahoma with a full ride than to go into debt to go to Cornell, even if they're sacrificing access to that Alumni network.

There can be a lot of stigma around attending branch campuses of major universities. Some people think that everyone who goes to The Ohio State University at Lima goes there because they couldn't get into the more prestigious The Ohio State University in Columbus, and that's just untrue. Branch campuses often cost less and are more commuter friendly. Even if a branch campus is less prestigious, a degrees a degree, and it matters what you do with it more than where it's from.
