Often times, recruiters at career fairs will ask you which office you are interested in working at. To be perfectly honest, it is easiest if you are choosing the office closest to your university. This is where they are mainly recruiting for. However, you will find that recruiters understand that many students leave home for college with the intention of moving back after earning a degree. Definitely apply back home, but apply for a couple near your college to be safe. With that said, don't apply for a random city just because you think it would be cool to live there. Recruiters can tell if you have no good reason to work in a particular city and it definitely ruins your chances of getting the offer.
It can be difficult to get into other offices, so consider yourself fortunate when you receive the office visit invitation. I myself have an office visit with a Big 4 in my hometown next week and was pretty surprised/excited when I got the invitation. Having taken one before, I can tell you that these trips are exhausting. You miss a few classes and travel upwards of thousands of miles in two days. HOPEFULLY, it is all worth it when the phonecall offer comes in shortly after the interviews are over.
