There are a few schools of thought on college – in many cases, its better to be top at a “lower” university, than average at a “top” one. This is very true for medical school, from what my friends have told me.
Yes, there is a difference in the caliber of education between certain top schools and lower ones. In engineering, for example, MIT is highly regarded as putting out the top engineers. But, if you graduate from CCNY, Polytech, Stephen’s or RPI, you will be able to get a great job also. As a general rule, someone from MIT has a much better work ethic than from other schools because it is so competitive.
Touro is a fine school. They have a very decent education, depending on what you want to do. If you want to be a marine biologist, then its not for you.
Sometimes, the name of the college you went to gets your name through the door (true no matter where you went to college), and after that its really what you’ve done.
