<p>Generally, graduates will get jobs in the area that they graduate in. I know So Cal and I know Buffalo. If you want a growing population, good weather and more job prospects go to Pomona. If you want a decaying town (albeit with some active folks trying to turn it around), very harsh winters and hot humid summers, and a depressed job market go to Buffalo. The only benefit I can see for a So Cal kid to go to Buffalo is that you will be able to buy a nice house early in your career provided you get a job. Housing is depressed there just like Detroit. Don’t forget that you will be very far from your family here and few, if any, direct flights that cost $$$. Buffalo supporters out there please don’t hammer me for my comments. I like the place and had fun there. But, even you gotta admit that it is a hard place to live. You almost gotta be born there to love it.</p>
