Do many graduates leave their school and find work away from their alma mater? I understand you will have less professional connections, which I think are becoming more and more important, but exactly how hard is this?
I'm curious because I have offers from 4 schools, one of which I fell in love with the city and could see myself living the rest of my life there. But it's about 35k oos, then 24k instate (assuming I can claim residence, independent, etc). The other program im considering has given me 15k/yr but I don't want to stay in that area for too long. Also, I have 0 loans as of now and want to minimize that.
Basically debt vs. potential happiness
