New verbal??

For certain from an educational perspective it is not ideal to get undergraduate, graduate and post graduate degree at the same school. Much preferred from a diversity perspective to do graduate and post graduate work at different schools. I had a friend and a roommate do so and both concurred it was a mistake although both were extremely successful. One became a President of a state college in Oklahoma. His dad was also a Phd and a college professor.

I suspect once she finishes her RS. year in 2016-17 she will move on without seeking a hardship 6th year. I just do not see her with professional basketball aspirations but someone who will focus on getting on with her life after college. Just my gut feel.

I agree. I got my Ph.D. from OU, but my Master's and Bachelor's are from two different universities, in two different regions of the country. It was great on the job market, because that is often seen as another form of diversity (in addition to my three minority statuses).

There is truth in this. But, it may be disappearing somewhat with the rise of mass communications. The isolation of a facility is not what it once was, and communication between facilities is so widespread as to negate some of the negativity associated with a lack of exposure to different ideas. Travel between facilities, as well as cooperative efforts have often rendered some of this a thing of the past. We also see students performing the requirements of a program at one university while actually enrolled at another, something that has existed for at least eighty years. Practicality may actually prevail in some situations. A lot also depends on what the subject is.
