Does it really matter where you go to college?


Asked by Viv
Like, say I got accepted to Brandeis, which has a much better reputation than my other top choice, the University of Tampa. Does it really matter which I choose, in the context of future employers looking at my resume?

As a three-time university graduate, let me tell you, resoundingly, YES!!!!!! It clearly makes a difference in how future employers will view you, and if only we could get that point across to all those people "attending" those on-line "universities". There's no easy way out to a great thing, and a degree from Brandeis holds much higher "clout" than U. of Tampa, not to insult that university, but, the facts are the facts. I tried to tell that to a co-worker of mine years ago, but, to no avail, and to my son, but, again, so far, to no avail. If you got accepted to Brandeis, GO!!! You'll feel so much more rewarded, personally and career-wise, in the years ahead. I do wish the best for you. God Bless you.
