Penn State, U Oregon are big schools and a little harder to get to, especially for international travelers. ASU and U of Denver are in bigger cities.
If finances are the same at all, then you can pick other things like size, location, culture of the school, including sports. Sports are a big deal at ASU, Oregon, and Penn state, a little less so at Denver (lacrosse, hockey, gymnastics are big but no football), and very low key at Clark.
