Does anyone actually care where I go to school (engineering)?

I’ve decided to remain at SUNY Buffalo. I have come to realize that Cornell was not a good fit for me academically or socially, with the added horribleness of the area it’s in. I only went there because of its prestige, and that is the only pro it has in my eyes. They also don’t have any active research in my line of interest - I looked, believe me.

I am on my own for paying for college. Neither of my parents are college graduates and did not set aside money for the purpose. If I graduate from here, the one semester I spent at Cornell will account for about 75% of my debt. I really can’t do that 7 more times.

I appreciate all of the responses!
