MikeF,
I would say go where you think you will be most successful. In most cases, it will be where you will be happiest. Like later in life, you need to determine what is the best professional or educational environment for you. This often is, but may not always be, the best social, recreational, personal, geographic(etc) environment. So one may have to compromise on, or balance, these factors.

Part of the college search is learning about how you best learn. It may not necessarily be at the place with the absolute highest reputation. Another factor that comes into play. There is virtually no financial aid for medical school. Many students attend schools that offer merit scholarships or state schools in order to save money for medical school tuition. So financing a medical education down the road, may also be an important consideration in choosing which college to attend.
