@OTTO_thefriendlypony "assuming American schools, every school will have air conditioning units, LOL my D is at a Big10 school and most buildings don’t have air conditioning including their basketball arena which I found unbearable when packed with 14,000 people.
@macb99 all of these factors are equally important. What is good academics for one is different for another, especially depending on your major. And a school that is good for one major is not necessarily good for all majors. Also, if you want to do well at a school you need to find one that will provide life/work balance. I truly believe if you can’t find a way to engage outside of the classroom your grades will suffer. That being said what it takes to achieve that is different for everyone.
