<p>You should ignore what college your friends/parents want you to go to and just see what is the best fit for you. What has the programs you need, what has the dorms you like, the job network you like. All of these things are the things that matter because your parents will love you no matter where you go and your friends will be your friends wherever you go. Just because you go to a different school doesn’t mean that you have to stop being friends, and just because you’d go to the same school, doesn’t mean you’d stay friends, know what I mean?</p>
