I am also applying to colleges. because I do a home cleanout twice a year (and often unexpectedly) its important that i'm close to home. i am looking at all schools less than an hour from my house and from my clinic (a half hour from my house in boston). however, if you don't do regular clean outs I would say as long as you are relatively close to your clinic. it all depends on how serious your care is. If I didn't have cleanouts all the time I would be going as far as possible and going to a clinic close by to the college. just make sure you research a new clinic to make sure you're getting the best care
