I wanted to throw another factor in the mix - ease of travel. We went to Bucknell last weekend, drove to our relatively major airport, then had a connecting flight in Chicago, then landed in Harrisburg PA, then got a rental car and drove 75 minutes to campus. So about 8 hours total. On the flip side, school in Philadelphia, DC, Boston, we could get a direct flight. In addition, DC is by far the easiest/best-priced option with several airlines and airports.
