The T that I terminated with when I graduated in May rarely gave me any of her personal opinions. But the one thing that she did make clear was that she did not think it was a good idea for me to go to the same school for my graduate degree as my undergrad. It has been on my mind quite a lot because though it's not a prestigious school, I think it is good for what I want to do, and it's cheap. She said she thinks it would be limiting for me, that there is so much else out there, and that people can get comfortable. I didn't tell her that through Google searching, I knew that she went to the same school as me for both her undergrad and grad degrees. So perhaps she regrets her decision.

Anyway, maybe this has an obvious answer: that I should only consider what's best for me. I thought I was being smart by choosing a school low in cost. But I respect her and her opinions a lot since I saw her as a parental figure... maybe going there would prevent self-growth. I keep thinking that if I went to the same place, she would be disappointed if she knew. I wish I could talk to her more about why she was so against me going there, but of course I can't now. Has anyone else's T gave an opinion that really affected you?
