I need to bum advice from y'all.

I went away to college when I got my first degree, and it was a great experience (I'm sure my wife wouldve frowned upon me going away while getting my current degree ). I highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone and just going for it. If you have the chance to visit the schools first, do it, you'll get a feel of the school and if it's the place for you.
