For finance, media, tech and certain business paths, city access can matter. For nursing, teaching or engineering, the program quality and placements may matter more. Look at where graduates actually work after school.

I’m comparing schools with similar programs, but one is in a big city and one is in a smaller college town. Does location really affect jobs and student life?

Answers & Discussion
A smaller college town gave me a stronger campus community. Everything revolved around the university, and it was easier to make friends. Internships were harder locally, but the lower cost and focus helped me academically.
Location matters a lot for internships. In a big city, I could work part-time in my field during the school year. That experience helped after graduation. The downside was rent and commuting. Opportunity and cost usually rise together.
