  • Types of housing

  • Type of college - large/small, urban/rural, etc. etc.

  • Other things in which you're interested - do they offer study abroad? dual degree programs? 3/2 options where you can earn your masters as well, etc.

  • Financial aid opportunities

  • Whatever else interests you - quality of food, dorm rooms, etc.
