Hello all,

For the prompt "Why is Institution X a good fit for you?"

Is it appropriate to (partly) answer it with:

"My best friend and his family lives in that town. It will be nice to have the support system."

Thank you!
 
I think it may be appropriate to include it, but you should also research the school and indicate that some part of the academic environment specific to that school is also something that aligns with your professional goals, background, or educational style. I don't think this should necessarily be the sole reason you want to go to a school.
