College Questions

hi, I’m a rising junior. ive been thinking about where I want to go lately. I’ve landed on some colleges in big cities like Boston and New York, and I really fell in love with them. I really want to live in a big city for college and have the traditional college feel. however, my parents want me to stay local and go to someplace with less tuition and live with them. I don’t want to go to a local college at all, since none of them are very good in my opinion. I’ve worked my ass off at a private school for a while, and I feel like it would all be useless if I didn’t go somewhere just a little bit prestigious. I want to go for a nursing degree. I can see where they’re coming from, but I also don’t feel like much will change my perspective. any advice on if I should go local or city?
