I won’t speak for west coast USA employers as I am not one myself.

Just remember that you are going to a top flight LAC for what it offers and for what you can do there as you develop your intellect and distinguish yourself through your achievements and the relationships you engender.

You are not representing Colgate unless of course you join its admissions or advancement office in California. You are representing yourself. And it will be on that basis that you secure employment. Simple as that.

That said, if you believe that employers who review your credentials will not appreciate your portfolio on the basis that you were out of state for university or something like that, I would suggest you might as well look at other employers. Having lived and worked in several countries since my graduation, I would recommend that you keep your options fully flexible.

Best of luck with your choice of LAC- whatever that might be!
