<p>There is no right answer.</p>
<p>What you or one person is looking for in a college, someone else might dislike. This is entirely a personal, subjective and relative answer.</p>
<p>College is what you make of it. People might have an extremely happy (or not so happy) experience at UCLA and similar situations can be found at every college in the country, including those on your list.</p>
<p>One person’s great (or not so great) experience at a college should not dictate how your college experience should be; again, I repeat that college is what YOU make of it. The undergraduate experience at Harvard (or insert another college on your list) is not “categorically” better, so to speak, than the one at UCLA.</p>
<p>It is entirely personal, subjective and relative.</p>
