The location of the university you attend will have a big impact on your overall choices in addition to other factors like ranking, reputation. Being close to an industry hub can mean the difference between getting a job or not getting a job. Especially during recessions employers are reluctant to spend money on hiring candidates who live far away from their locations. So if you have a choice

Hi saket,
I have a query regarding financial support form which needs to be filled for admission. What kind of impact this form can have on my appln ? If I declare that I cannot attend the school without financial aid, whether it is good/bad ? If one gets RA/TA, then this financial doc has less importance? 

Any extra info regarding this, will be helpful.
