| I agree with you about intended major -- most people will change their major. But that doesn't change that people want a good program in what they at least think they want to study. This might not be the best approach, because they may change their major, but you can understand where they are coming from. Perhaps a better thing to do would be academic strength in an area, such as the natural sciences, or something.
I really disagree with you about location, however. Location is a plus to any school (that is, if it's a good one) and can be a deal breaker if it's a terrible one, but ultimately, most college students spend most of their time on campus and within the community built there. I dont think location attracts a certain kind of student nearly as much as the atmosphere of the school itself, it's goals, its philosophies, etc. |
