<p>No; my state flagship (University of Washington) is so good for my chosen field (CS) that it didn’t make any sense for me to go elsewhere and pay a ton of money (never mind the fact that I was originally trying to do bioengineering). I’ve had the opportunity to do some really great internships at top companies. I definitely don’t feel like I’m missing out from a career perspective. From a college experience perspective, maybe a little bit, but I’m generally satisfied.</p>
