Ask HN: Does University Choice Matter?
3 by HDMI_Cable | 9 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, I'm about to go to university in the fall, and I wanted to get all of your opinions on whether specific universities have any benefit. I'm a high-school graduate with slightly above-average grades who has been accepted to a somewhat good university, but nothing like the Ivies, Berkeley/Stanford, or McGill/UfT. My university has had a couple Prime Ministers, some arch-bishops, 1/2 of a tech CEO, & a beloved children's book character. But other than that, there is no real "prestige" to the university (but the city/campus are very nice). I'm thinking of going to a post-graduate degree (medical), so I wanted to hear from all of you. Thanks.
