<p>I wanted to quote your whole post, because it really resonated with me. But the important part is the end. This is such good advice. For anyone who is reading this. PLEASE pick a school that really speaks to you. Don’t go somewhere just because of the rank or title, you’ll learn soon enough that that isn’t what’s important. And honestly, years from now, which would you rather be:</p>
<p>A- graduated long ago from XYZ school, no one really cares, but you have loans to pay back, or
B- graduated long ago from ABC school, no one really cares, but you’re loan-free and have loads of good memories from it</p>
