Ahh College…

When I was your age I decided to go to a college that was close to home. I think you’re going to want to consider where you will be the most comfortable.

That’s the first question you want to ask yourself. For me it was a no. I needed my family around. It wasn’t until after I graduated college that I adopted my wander lust.

Once you’re in the work force it doesn’t matter where you went to went to school. Your portfolio and your references are going to be doing 90% of the work. I wish I had known that before I went to the most expensive school imaginable.

Hope that helps,

Manny

That’s an option. Are you sure you’re going to go get your masters though? Two things you should take into consideration here:

1. Will you go get your masters? Some people (like me) feel like a BA is all they need to get the job they want.
2. Which school is more expensive? You should go to the cheaper school for undergrad considering you will be paying for 4 years instead of 2. You will get the benefit of Miami either way; if you do undergrad or your masters program there.

Dem’s my 2 cents.
