text: When you ask for opinions on which university you should go to after your high school graduation, the answers between your parents and the answers from your friends might be different. Your parents could say that UVA is better than a college in New York or California because its close to home. They could also say that UVA is instate, which means its less expensive. Meanwhile, your friend might say that the college in New York is better than UVA, because you get to experience the freedom of living in a completely new place while making your own decisions. They could say that places like New York and California is way more fun than staying in your hometown. When you ask for advice from multiple people instead of just one person, you get a variety of opinions and perspectives to help you to make the right decision.
