I attended the school and never regretted about attending there.
The world-class profs, great people, urban setting.. to name a few things.
Getting good grades is extremely hard but if you study, you will definitely get
grades you want while having much fun.
Don't be intimidated by what others say to you.
As long as you are well-disciplined and willing to put your efforts, you will be most likely successful virtually every where. Do not look for an easy way out!
The bottom line is, "go to the university where you will find yourself happiest" 😀
