Any advice??? Thanks

<p>Quick question:
I am choosing between Oregon, U of Washington, Western Washington, Santa Clara, and Colorado.
Would it make sense to go to Santa Clara or Colorado and spend a bunch of money, or go to Western Washington University (which i enjoyed visiting but is not very well known, though i hear it is a good school) and go to a well known grad school?
UW is good, but i live like 15 minutes away.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Of those schools, I'd recommend U-Dub. Chosing a lesser university just because you don't want to be close to home is not the best course of action!</p>
