Growing up I had dreams of going to Yale or Harvard. I think it would be a great thing to have on your resume. Both are great schools to attend and I have heard many good things about them. If I had my pick I would say Harvard.
I did some research on Imperial College London. I like it very much and it is definitely part of top 10 universities in the world. I wonder how many unemployed ex students of top 10 universities in the world exist. I’d guess none. If unemployed, probably he’d run a business or something.
Ten years ago, I had some interest in going to Princeton. It was a shame though that my parents and I could not make it happen. These colleges are so expensive to attend. While I think that they are very well worth it, many times saying I went to Princeton or Havard or Yale is a great honor in itself. It is hard to get into these schools.
I am tired of hearing about how great Harvard is. Or Yale or schools like that. I graduated from a state school and I did just great. I make a decent salary and so I am happy. You do not have to have a degree from one of these places to be successful.

Every university is good. As long as you study enough, obviously. Top 10 universities in the world cost a lot. They are only for rich people. Stop dreaming about ’em.
