Following up on bopper’s suggested spreadsheet, Intlgirl28 is presumably not from the US…and it’s probably relevant to keep in mind that she might not fully grasp the diversity of options available here. In most countries, almost all students go to a large urban public universities with large classes, no bigtime sports, little personal attention, & weather similar to the rest of the country. Compare those tendencies to the enormous spectrums in each of those variables here, where your college can be tiny or huge, tropical or Arctic, rah-rah or apathetic, etc.
