Why did you pick your college?

Two of my friends had particularly torturous decisions to make.

One was in love with both of her schools (Yale and Stanford, for those of you keeping score) and ended up choosing Stanford because she felt she would have regretted not going to Stanford more than not going to Yale.

Another found many faults with both of her schools (Harvard and Brown), and after a lot of deliberation and a gentle nudge from me, she ended up choosing Harvard. I thought Harvard would have a more active and vibrant environment for somebody who is the antithesis of “laid-back.”
