So you think Ole Miss is as good of a school as LSU? Not saying you're wrong, I just find it interesting.
The quality of education at most state schools is mostly the same. The difference is in the competition to get into those schools and the location of the schools relative to certain industries.
In grad school the greatest difference wasn't b/w a lowly ranked state school kid and a highly ranked state school kid, it was b/w a private school kid and a state school kid. There is so much more expected of you at a small, private school, no matter the rank of that school. That's not to say these kids were intrinsically smarter or even won all the accolades in grad school, just that in the first semester or two they had a very noticeable edge. They were better prepared for the rigors of studying for an advanced degree.

Greatly, greatly depends on the small private school. The south, and the rest of the country, are littered with liberal arts colleges that have little rigor and are far inferior to good public schools.
Actually, I'd say the large majority of those schools are inferior to good state schools.
