Please define what you mean by "a school that is a joke".
How would someone go about quantifying what is a joke? I know for a fact that I ended up at a fairly middle of the road small liberal arts school for my undergrad - which back then was not that impressive as far as it's academic reputation. But, then I liked the school and wanted small. Afterwards - I went to a top level school for grad school. And guess what, nobody seems to care that I went to one of those little schools now.



Exactly, so what Division 1 colleges are a joke ? If possible find a school that meets your son or daughters needs academically, athletically socially and financially, if its the right fit for your child its the right place to be . What arrogant a holes people are.
