Of course, two completely different location types: College town v. large city. I’ve never quite understood the great consideration given to location in school selection. Unless it’s a region student would like to live after graduation? Even then, attending a school in said region doesn’t guarantee that goal. As far as weather? The Ivy’s remain destination schools despite cold and gray. Otherwise, it’s four very quick years, and the freedom to land where you’d like is more dependent on field of study than school you attend, IMO. If a student really looking for unique geographic in the college years, I encourage study abroad.
