GPR location?

Just wondering...how important is the dental school location in relation to where one would be working later on in GPR or a joint private practice? (Or, AEGD location to where one wants to eventually practice?) I'm a pre-dent, so I'm not too familiar with the situation, but it lingers on my mind... :-} Suppose if I choose to attend a DMD program in, say, Florida, would it be difficult to apply for residency in, say, NYC? This is a place I'd really like go back to live around and work in. I'm not a NY state resident though. Would that hurt my chance?

Thank you thank you thank you!
