Re: Does the college name count?
There are a few factors to keep in mind. The biggest one is finding a general field of study that you're interested in. Keep in mind that you might change majors, even if it's a change within the same school/department. Then find a school that is well known for producing great students in that field. 100% job placement is a great thing to hear too, because that's ultimately why you're going to college. Cost is another issue. MIT is reputable, but so are many other schools. Not everyone goes to MIT. I stayed in state because the cost was so much lower than going out of state. Scholarships are a way around the cost issue, student loans as well.

Just keep this in mind, economics 101 - If the costs out way the benefits, don't do it. It's as simple as that.
