Happiness and moneyWhile considering your personality, you also need to consider money. Is the amount going to be enough? Plus, you should consider your happiness. Am I going to be happy? Sometimes, you may be able to make a compromise between the two.

Can the college make the difference?
This is a tricky question because, to be honest, no matter what college you go to the degree you get won't change. Can a fancy name like Harvard catch the eye of an interviewer? Maybe...
Obviously, the career that you're interested in will effect the college you go to. I love Purdue but they do not offer an optometry program so I will most likely end up going to IU or a higher school.
Contrary to what I said above, RIVALRIES MATTER!!! Sometimes you must sacrifice, like me going to IU, but when picking a college this should be considered. And of course, picking your favorite team would be ideal.
