I can’t imagine why someone would tell you that. Sure your opinion of the school location, type of students it attracts, etc. is all important and you should not go to a college you know is a poor fit. But how could your interests not come first? If you want to be an architect (for example) and go to a school without such a program, you won’t be an architect. How could that possibly be the right choice even if you love the school itself?</p>
