<p>size, location, reputation of academics, internship possibilities, campus feel</p>
<p>Look at what the core requirements are. My kid found she was happiest at a school where there were no core requirements at all. Different schools have different levels of flexibility.</p>
<p>BUMP :]…any more ideas? still making lists - my choice selection just expanded and i want to make sure im considering everything!</p>
<p>i like to look at faculty to student ratio. its important to know how efficient or convinient it will be to get help from a professor. (and yes i got that from rory too 
) but i do think its very important. i like to look at prestige too. for example if you pick the less prestigiously viewed school because you have always wanted to go there you would have to take into consideration that it may be more difficult to get into grad school from that undergrad school as apposed to the ‘better’ school. also it could be important to see if they have lots of dr’s and dentists offices nearby bc u are going to need those things! u cant go home to c a doc if u have a 102 fever and ur throwing up. entertainment is also important. there are some schools that are always hosting concerts and school spiritied days and stuff. that stuff is fun and necessary when a break from constantly studying is in order! maybe look into there gym and also what the weather will be like year round. these are just a few things i have been looking into while doing my pro con lists.</p>
<p>totally didnt realize this thread was from last year…haha my bad</p>
<p>I wonder where the OP ended up…Yale, perhaps :)</p>
