Experience new things and build your identity! I went seven hours away and it was great, not too far, but just far enough. New cultures, new people. Everyoneβs advice so far is so so good. I just graduated and I wish I had switched schools to better apply to my major and studies. The better programs help a lot with job and internship finding. Overall, go somewhere that fits your vibe, but accentuates your goals annd aspirations!
