"Hmm, it's okay, but I heard that Mist City Arts and Science University is a private university, right?"
Mom frowned and asked.
"Yeah, it is a private university. Come on, Mom, you're not like little brother, looking down on private universities, are you?" Big sister was exasperated. Why does everyone seem to have a "prejudice" against private universities?
"Not at all."
Mom shook her head and smiled, saying, "Private universities are fine as long as their teaching quality is excellent and their degrees are nationally recognized. That's not an issue at all. Mist City Arts and Science University meets those criteria, right? I remember reading somewhere, maybe last year or the year before, that Mist City Arts and Science University was certified as a nationally key university, isn't that correct?"
