I've had more call for a C than a picc so far in College, but It still wasn't much. I think I have used a C once since I've been in College, and I just borrowed it from a faculty member. I would buya flugel first

In my experience as a music major a C trumpet was needed far more often than a picc. Even now playing in my orchestra I use my C trumpet on every performance and picc only once every 2 yrs or so. Go with the C!

To be fair, shouldn't one ask where (which continent/country) a person plans on going to college? I'm thinking that with C trumpets being less common in European orchestras that a rotary Bb might be the way to go for someone who is on the other side of the water... or not.

See if the school has any piccs or Cs already. If they do, look into something else. What Bb, Flugel do you have?
