  1. 1. Which one--prestige or affordability--plays a bigger role in your college decision?

    • It's all about the prestige... money is not an issue for me.

    • Prestige is more important, but I also keep an eye on the costs.

    • They play equally significant roles in my decisions.

    • Price is more important to me, but I also consider prestige.

    • The price tag is far more important... I'm not at all concerned about prestige.

So, as I've been working on narrowing down lists of colleges that I might attend, I've noticed that more affordable colleges aren't generally thought of as being prestigious, and more prestigious colleges generally aren't as affordable.

Obviously, with the economy in the shape it's in, the price of college tuition is going to be important for lots of people. But, given that the people on this forum are involved in IB, I think it can be assumed that we're all pretty good students, so perhaps it would be nice to give ourselves a pat on the back in the form of a degree from a highly prestigious college.

So what are your thoughts on this? Which one is more important to you? I personally take both of them into consideration when looking at colleges...
