Pestka: You need to leave your hometown in your 20’s if you want to grow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people that I see attend Iowa State are oftentimes from Iowa or the surrounding area, no longer than an hour or two’s drive away. I also see the same pattern happen back home in Phoenix, Arizona, where people who were born and raised there attend the local universities and end up staying in Phoenix.

Pestka: More students should consider junior college instead of university (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why would somebody willingly pay thousands of dollars for four to five years of ridiculous university pricing, when they most likely can get the first two years completely free at their local junior college?

When I was looking at colleges out of high school, I wanted to go somewhere I
