You are from SoCal. There are very few opportunities in life to go somewhere completely different and this is one of them, so I would take it. You can always go to USC for graduate school if you miss the sun! That was the advice we gave our son who is going to Olin. He had met with the Dean at USC and was pretty much assured of getting accepted into the Leadership program at Marshall. The Dean gave him a tour of the campus on a golf cart, he sat in on one of his leadership classes, and my son was very impressed with Marshall. So it was a hard choice. Both programs are great, both schools are great. But we too are from SoCal and we encouraged him to try something new (and WUSTL is great), and I would encourage you to do the same!
