Go to the school you like and can afford. School loans stay with you until you pay them off.

<p>This is essential advice that is the key to picking a college.</p>

Employers look at your most recent experience/college. Also where you went to school mostly affects your first job only. As you progress in your career, where you went to college really makes no difference - it’s the work experience you gain which is more important.

<p>This is true. If you like Pittsburgh/want to get a job around here when you graduate, then you’d definitely be fine going to Pitt, a lot of the companies know and love Pitt engineers just as much as CMU engineers/etc. Also this goes back to the idea of NETWORKING and Summer Experiences. Like people have said, the school isn’t everything, it’s about what you do while you’re there. (Otherwise people would only go to Ivies and what not and the other colleges would have no students!)</p>
