My former mentor graduated from SFSU, as did my mother-in-law. I am confident that I would have gotten an outstanding education there. People get a little too caught up in reputation and ranking, when, in reality, it is less a question of what a school does for you than what you do while there and after.

But, TC, except for a few posts, this thread is about gentle ribbing of a rival, not a claim that one cannot get a great education there. The SNAFUs are a feature of any large bureaucratic organization (like the DMV), and if you don’t think that the Stanford bureaucracy can’t be a nightmare, you haven’t dealt with it.
