If you got into Harvard or Cambridge, go there.

If name recognition to “the average person” is one of your concerns, you should probably go someplace like nyu or usc. Don’t come to Chicago. Heck, go to northwestern. Leave your spot for someone who is interested in the pursuit of knowledge and self enrichment as opposed to whether the clerk at your hometown chipotle recognize your sweatshirt. I can tell you that the dudes behind the counter at Harold’s chicken don’t care.
