<p>It is less about where you go, and more about what you DO at the school you’re at. You can go to Harvard and not be all that engaged in activities, research, etc. You can go to a state school and be involved in research, end up with your name on a few publications, study abroad, present at conferences, etc. The student who achieved more at a state school is more likely to succeed than the slacker at Harvard. </p>
<p>You will have no problem finding Mr. Right regardless of where you go, as long as you keep your confidence and aren’t afraid to look for him.</p>
<p>Your parents will get over it when you graduate college and end up with a good job. No one really cares where you went to school 10 years later after you’re making money, own a home, a car, etc. And those who do are focusing on all the wrong things in life. </p>
<p>Do YOU even want to attend an ivy league school? What do you want to study? What kind of school do you want to attend? What will make YOU happy? Your parents aren’t living your life, you are. Life’s too short to live out their dreams if your interests don’t match theirs.</p>
