How do I narrow down my list?

Thanks for the input…

I’m a male.
I’m okay with any environment…not super super large.

Don’t mind if it’s suburban, but not out “in the middle of nowhere”.

Really, just okay with anything…but it’s just that I’ve always been drilled about how the rankings are all that matter.

For example, I just put in all the colleges mentioned by the posters above on US News and just looked up the rankings…

Is there like a “best” one on there?
