I don't think it's any particular one of those, but a combination of several of them.... and of course, it depends on individual circumstances as to which factor carries the most weight. I think it's a combination of:
Overall prestige, strength within your major, cost, good "vibe," and location.
For me, it was basically a combination of strength within my major, cost, and location. I didn't get great vibes, but they were just as good as the vibes I got anywhere else. And prestige was a factor in my decision as well. UMinn doesn't quite carry the weight that other top publics like UMich and UC-Berkeley do, but the fact that it's well respected and a major research institution were big positives for me.
