I think you’re absolutely right about this. Some questions you might want to think about as you reflect:
- Do you want urban/suburban/small town/rural?
- Are there certain states or areas of the country you’re particularly interested in (or interested in avoiding)?
- Are there any climate preferences?
- What size classes do you prefer?
- What size school would you prefer?
- How do you feel about enthusiasm for intercollegiate sports?
- How do you feel about Greek life?
- What kind of vibe are you hoping to find?
- Are there any other factors that are coming into consideration in your college decision (religion, a particular EC, other)?
