<p>Okay so Im in at Champaign and my parents are reallllly pushing for me to go there-in state tuition, good rep, pretty close to home etc. I am going into international studies (now im thinking of changing my major to econ actually) interested in a career in the development of third world countries (world bankish type job) im hearing i shud just go to champaign bc for undergrad its not THAT big a deal if champaign isn't renowned for this field. I also got in Maryland which is like 20 minutes from d.c. and has an international development center. I also got into their scholar's program for international studies. Also im interested in northeastern in boston for its amazing coop programs. i'm just really confused on weather or not its worth going to one of the out of state schools that i've applied to and maryland and champaigne is what its really coming down to....anyone have any thoughts? oh and i can still change my major to econ right?</p>
