Bachelors and Masters From the Same School?

I am planning on obtaining my BSN and eventually a dual MSN/MBA. I am curious if switching schools makes a difference at all, and if so, is it better or worse. Is it better to have your bachelors degree and your masters degree from the same university, or would it be better to have the degrees from two different universities? Any input is appreciated.

Aside from the cost, I found it an advantage to go to the same school for both; I was familiar with the program, the campus, the software that was used, as well as the instructors - and I didn't have to take the GRE. If I did it again - I'd probably look for a lower tuition campus since after I started, everything switched to online only, and some of the instructors were not comfortable with this way of teaching, and I would have preferred to go on campus more often. Good luck!

After doing a little bit of research I have come to the conclusion that it's better to get the degrees from separate schools because it broadens your education. You learn from a greater variety of professors whose opinions on certain matters might differ from instructors of another institution. Anybody want to confirm or dispel my my thoughts?
