Would it be bad to get a bachelor's degree at a state college instead of a university?

I live about 20 minutes away from a state college that offers a bachelor's degree in Biology. That is what I plan to major in regardless of what school I to attend. I would rather go to a state college because I can live at home and I will save about 40,000 dollars, if I attend the state college nearby. Is this a good idea or should I go to a known university because it looks better on my resume? #counselor #academic-advisor #advising #advisory-boards

First check what the curriculum entails and see how well it prepares you. Normally state colleges are good when it comes to the quality of its degrees. If it's close to were you live and helps you avoid going into debt by way of student loans I'd say go for it. That type of opportunity is something that not many have.

Since the state college is near your home, you can consult with a professor in Biology department. I think he can give you more insight about the future career. Before you find the professor, you can check the college website to have more information about the professor and departement.

Yolonda’s Answer

I think it's best to consider what you are able to afford. If money isn't a factor then it doesn't really matter where you go; however, if it is then you should definitely consider the cheaper option. I do recommend going away from home for college though because it helps you to grow more. There are many ways to save money while being away such as becoming a Resident Assistant or living off campus vs on campus.
