acarta’s list was fabulous, and it was extremely nice of him or her to take the time to look up that info.

Still, you need to figure out what you want in a college.

The list acarta gave you was of national universities – relatively large universiteis. Do you want to go to that kind of place or would you prefer a college that is smaller and more nurturing? If you’d prefer a smaller, more nurturing place, check out liberal arts colleges.

Do you want to be in a city or in a rural area? Do you want a laid back or more intense campus atmosphere? Preppy or the opposite?

What are you thinking of majoring? What are you considering doing as a career? Would you like to go to a single sex college or a church-affiliated one? Do you plan to return to your home state after graduation? If so, you may be best off going to your state flagship, which probably has a large alum network that would prove useful to you throughout your life.
