What to consider when choosing University

Hi
I recently got accepted to UMich, UIUC, Purdue, Texas A&M, Texas Austin, and PSU for Aerospace Engineering

Now I have to decide which school to go to.
But, i am not sure which school is really the best place for me

If one is to choose an Engineering school, What should he consider when choosing University???

I also have a good chance to change my major in the future.
Or do double major

As I see it you have three things to weigh;

1. Core Competency of the programs you are subscribing to
2. Location of the college, and what kind of personal life it will offer you as well as the distance it is from your current support group
3. Type and size of student body; are they the type of people that will be compatible with you

The third is probably the hardest to figure out. However, a look at the clubs and attendances might give you a good idea. Also, the general persona of Texans vs. Mid-westerners probably apply.

And if its ABET accredited

ABET accreditation is not important unless you're interested in getting a PE license. You don't need a PE license to practice aerospace engineering.
