As for my other preferences:
- Grad school placement + availability of graduate level classes
- Proximity to the city (would prefer an urban area)
- I don’t mind weather too much, but a more temperature climate would be better (I don’t like very hot summers or freezing cold winters)
- Availability of research + REUs would be great
- A smaller school would be good, one which doesn’t require cars to get around everywhere
- I’m not too sure about greek life/party life, but I don’t want a very competitive culture which focuses too much on studying
- I would prefer schools with less demanding gen-ed requirements since I would like to mostly take classes in my major
