<p>Its not the moving from a small town that bothers me, but I am not from a “town” my city is more a smaller city. My point was that every city outside the east coast is established differently. Less dependent on public transportation, as in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, etc., as they were founded later and over more space. In Dallas, Houston, LA, Atlanta, San Francisco you can optionally live outside the city and drive in and out of it via private transportation. I lived in New York City last summer for four weeks and I hated not having my own car and being on my own time, while traffic may be bad… personal space is precious haha! But I’d never base a college decision on a car, or apartment size or central air condition, or any amenities of life… just was an observation.</p>
<p>I want to see the world and travel abroad, but standard of living abroad doesn’t have to correlate to standard of living where I am actually living back home, just saying. </p>
<p>At the end of the day college is a business, and both of these universities are offering me similar packages with a difference in presentation. UPenn is pushing their reputation and IVY League status as SMU attempts to throw out programs and scholars to combat its lack prestige and make it more competitive. I love both Universities, I guess I’ll just have to sit back and think about my options. I’ve spoken to many SMU Hunts who have had internships at FOX in LONDON, Goldman Sachs in NY, Deloitte, etc., and a slew of UPenn students obviously interning in and around Wall Street as well as abroad. </p>
<p>I only want to study Advertising as I love it, it would be more of just a “for-fun degree” to have. I want to go into Finance or Accounting, I just run a graphic design company right now and I handle the creation of various Advertisements for a few of my clients and I love Advertising and want to further my knowledge of it.</p>
