Besides the obvious (finding one that you can actually get into), I’d say look for one that:

(1) you can handle financially (which means it may need to be close to your current home)
(2) have the particular major you are most interested in (that offers courses in the concentration you hope to work in upon graduation), and
(3) at least consider that one closer to where you plan to live long-term may make it easier to find a job than one located 1,500 miles or more away; --and lastly, if weather is a factor for you, then
(4) find one that has weather that won’t drive you crazy
