forth so typically republican verses are the bigger ones and
- 00:24
then the private colleges or smaller there are very few
- 00:27
really big private universities A few examples would be in
- 00:31
you or us see boston university in northeastern Those are
- 00:36
all private colleges that are over ten thousand students but
- 00:39
by and large the private colleges are small to medium
- 00:42
sized whereas on the flip side you don't really find
- 00:45
a lot of really small public universities A few examples
- 00:48
might be the university of vermont or one of the
- 00:51
unc campuses like unc asheville and those khun b between
- 00:54
maybe three and eight thousand which is more of a
- 00:57
private university size but they're still public So if you
- 01:00
have public universities being funded by the government and private
- 01:04
universities being funded by really rich alumni uh give my
- 01:08
to assume that the private universities have more money to
- 01:10
spend sometimes they can have a lot more Money They
- 01:14
have certainly very big donors I think you know for
- 01:17
example of fifty million dollar donation came into usc not
- 01:20
long ago Harvard Literally a week ago you got a
- 01:23
four hundred million dollar donation I'm to their engineering school
- 01:27
and i don't read headlines about that happening Big public
- 01:30
universities public universities quite often find themselves stretched a little
- 01:34
bit thin because state legislatures don't have the funds to
- 01:38
pay them And so sometimes the big public's could be
- 01:40
cutting back on research opportunities on professors which makes for
- 01:45
a bigger classes And yet big public universities are excellent
- 01:48
places to go for an education name recognition and so
- 01:51
forth Public colleges air primarily funded by the state and
- 01:58
by tuition Private schools are primarily funded by donations and
- 02:03
tuition and government contracts Typically public colleges are large and
- 02:09
private colleges are small Examples of big private universities include
- 02:14
gnu usc boston university and northeastern university each with over
- 02:20
ten thousand students Examples of small public universities include university
- 02:24
of vermont or unc asheville with only three to eight
- 02:27
thousand students Private schools tend to have more money than
