Pick 3
What are the three things that a college has to match on your requirements? These are three things that the school must be or it's just not the right college for you and never could be.

Has to have my major

Has to be in the northeast (I live in FL, but hate it here and wouldn't want to live in the south or west.)

It has to have a relatively decent financial aid package.

Is in an uber-urban environment, or barring that in someplace really insanely cool with good public transportation or walkability

Good engineering program
Within 6 hours of me (generally, northeast)
Has to give good aid, or I can't even pay for it

My fourth must-have, albeit less important than these three, is having something to do outside of school. That's why I lean towards schools that are in/near cities.

1. Has to have my major.

2. Has to have decent financial aid/not too pricey in relation to what I get out of it.

3. Has to be on the East coast.
