<p>I need some help in narrowing down a list of 20ish colleges into a final list of ten. HOw do I start? There's so much to consider. Can someone suggest some ways?</p>
<p>Think about what you might want to major in, and look for schools that have good departments in ALL your possibilities.</p>
<p>Decide on urban, suburban, or rural environment.</p>
<p>Semester or quarter system?</p>
<p>at some point, you really just have to trust your gut instinct.</p>
