Pros and Cons of a less prestigious university

<p>Honestly, whoever says you can’t get a “reasonable job” from any of the schools mentioned is crazy.
Obviously, the biggest pro to going to a school with a big name is that people will be impressed right off the bat (more than likely). BUT by going to a slightly less prestegious college, especially since you had really high scores and grades, you will have a better chance of getting more scholarships and being at the top of your class.</p>

<p>It basically comes down to if you’d rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond, and in the end, you have to go where you feel most at home.
If you have what it takes (and your major isn’t something ridiculous like Women’s Studies), you’re going to get a job, regardless of whether you went to some fancy-shmancy school or not.</p>

<p>I hope that helped a little.</p>
