Every, single one of these things is an objective trait that can be looked up on the websites and ranking sites. If you look on a map, you will know if the school is close to the coast, urban, and in a warmer climate. If you look at each school’s website, you will learn the size of the student body. If you look at US News college rankings, you will know how each one ranks. It would take about an hour of your time.

Not all of that is objective. I can tell if it is technically in a city, but I can’t tell what that city is like. Case in point: Wake Forest is technically in a decent-sized city, but someone on here mentioned that Winston-Salem doesn’t receive high praise from WF students. US news doesn’t tell everything, especially specific to pre-med type majors. You also can’t quantify what the student body is like.
