<p>Location ended up being our deciding factor too neatoburrito. There are just so many great schools, and I’m sure my S would be happy at so many of them. We weren’t even considering BS until I learned there were a few within about 2.5 hours of where we live. It was also important to me to be able to drive up for games, or just dinner if he was having a rough week, etc. I guess we are lucky to be relatively close to some good schools, though not everyone has this geographic possibility, and some do fall in love with a school that is very far away, or a program that a particular school offers…the choices aren’t easy!</p>
