I would like to expand on the prompt though. The ideal college would have
Great academics
A lot of diverse Extracurriculars and sports
Small classes and the capacity for everyone to be in the classes they want to be in
Affordable
Great location
Big enough to be diverse, small enough know people (about 2k-10k undergrads)
Lots of majors minors and a dual degree program, great programs in each major
Great faculty professors teaching classes
Nice dorms (suite style) and food (diverse and tasty)
Lots of unique undrgrad research and study abroad opportunities
History
High graduation rate and high rate of students going on to grad school and jobs
A diverse (male/female, black/white/latino/asian, Christian/Muslim/Jewish/Atheist etc.) group of smart, thoughtful, friendly students
Great libraries and access to new technology
A gorgeous campus that is big enough to discover new things every day but is small enough to easily navigate
Great reputation and prestige
Atmosphere that is competitive without being stressful, that fosters growth but has room for relaxation
Find a college that has all of those things.
