How much should tradition and location have on your decision?

<p>is asu your dream school or your parents dream for you to relive their past? asu is a great school I am sure! but, all things being equal from what you wrote , I think you need to maybe exaime your dream vs your parents dream! being a legacy is not a bad thing as long as it is what you want! now if money is the most important thing on your list then that is one thing but if you really love boone,nc so much you can always move there after graduating college and / or go to asu for grad school. I would look at more schools in a larger radius then just boone /boston and RDU-raleigh/durham /chapel hill. you have a whole country with many many great options that maybe a great fit for you money wise and school wise.</p>
