<p>masha, the school i have chosen to attend is not well known here on cc or by just about anyone i know. in fact, i've received a great deal of criticism from turning down a school within my state that is more well known. however, the school i will be attending is well respected by people in the career field i wish to enter. if you're concerned about attending a lesser known university, my advice would be to talk to people who work in the field you wish to enter (such as a potential future employer) as well as people who have graduated from the university you are considering and entered the field you are planning to enter (ok, if that was confusing let me know. looking back i'm starting to confuse myself.). hope that helped!</p>
