I believe that a great undergraduate experience is determined by four things:

“1. The quality of the students that you will attend with”

-This is not objective….

“2. The size and nature of the classroom in which you and your peers will learn from your professors and from one another”

-This is not objective

“3. The quality and nature of the teaching (notice I said teaching and not quality of the research effort)”

-This is not objective…

“4. Institutional resources and the willingness to use these to support undergraduate education”

“Institutional resources” could be objective, but determining how willing a school is for supporting undergraduate education seems murky to me.
