Im facing a somewhat similar dilemma:

Cost – I’m looking at a 30K bill at Claremont vs. 15K at Santa Clara, not to mention that any outside scholarships I get will be deducted from my financial aid at Claremont. Money, is a pretty big deal, and I’d rather not take out a lot of loans if its not worth it.
Prestige/Quality of Education – How much of a difference will the name make at graduation? Is the consortium all it’s said it be?
Athletics – I’m looking for a school with a lot of opportunities for intramurals and games to watch.
Social life – A healthy party scene/social life, without it dictating all else.
Dorms – Are the one’s at Claremont THAT good?
People – Are the types of people at both colleges easy to get along with?


By the way, my intended major is Economics.
