No, but a collegen outside New England, absolutely. A kid from NH should choose UVA over Darmouth for the same reasons it’ll be more enriching to attend Penn for a VA student. It’s easier for a Virginian to return to Virginia after college away, than to pick up from Virginia to go to a city where they’ll have to pay to live in, figure things out on their own, and work.
This is especially important because OP is from a small town and should not be discouraged from travelling out of state. UVA is a great university but the opportunities that Penn will afford a student not from a big city are bigger in terms of personal development.
OP: I come from a small town and going far may seem “too much”, but once you’ve taken the step, it’s invigorating. :)
