          Cherry picking huh? Municipal are the smallest and least funded public universities here, the major institutions are all state and federal level, to be honest I didn’t even know there were municipal ones. Reminder that I said ‘mostly’ not ONLY private institutions.

          “It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month.”

            Not cherry picking, just wasn’t aware that municipalities were smaller schools. Our school system here works different. Now I know.
