| Prestige, overall academic ranking or reputation.
It's important only for getting more opportunities around the world and shoving my diploma and pride in front of my employees.
Academic strength in my intended major.
Depends as long as it trains me everything that many companies are looking for. Also watch out if you're going to change majors. Chances are, 90%, a student is going to change majors.
Geography:
Important than the two but not the most ultimate important choice. I do wanna come home at least once a month without having to pay expensive plane tickets.
Also I don't want to live with my parents...
Tuition, potential scholarships and cost of living.
*Definitely the most important of all factors. When you can't pay, you can't get in and other factors fall even though you should deserve it. That's why you blow elite colleges because its for like only rich kids. Not to mention having to pay off loans at least $1000 a month for 10 years. What else can you spend $1000 a month for?
Legacy status/family history at the school.
Maybe, never thought this would be a choice haha. Sorry can't answer this personally, parents never went to college
Girlfriend/boyfriend, other friends there.
Heck no, i'm gonna find some chick hotter than my girlfriend somewhere else.
Athletics.
Yep, you go to college to get an education and HAVE FUN!
Good vibes...felt at home.
Important too, I want to feel safe and have close contacts with many people. I want a campus where its easy to go around.
Location...it's where I want to be!
Important, how can I study when everyday it feels 30 below 0, in an arabic neighborhood feeling like living with terrorists, and having to survive each day as if it's Iraq? |
