First of all, we should recognize our purpose of entering the university, that is, to study our favorite major, and then master professional knowledge and skills to realize our dreams.
If you want to be more proficient in your major, it is essential to go to a good school.
When you enter a good school, you will find that you can not only master professional knowledge and skills better, but also experience the atmosphere of a good school more, see more outstanding talents and broaden your horizons.
Especially when you are looking for a job after graduation, people will only ask which school you graduated from, not which city you studied in, because an enterprise group considers more about your comprehensive ability.
Some people say that thousands of books is not as good as Wan Li Road. Of course, this is important, but only if you have a skill.
As for your favorite city, I think if you really want to experience the life in that city, you can go there for a few days during the holiday, or stay for a month or two to experience the local customs.
More importantly, the study time in the university can't be copied, and there is no chance to choose again, but the city you want to go to can make full use of the future time.
