<p>For me I crossed a school off my list if:</p>
<p>1) It wasn’t strong in my intended major
2) I didn’t like the campus (such as it was too urban, or concrete and lacked green space)
3) If the cost was too much and they weren’t known for good financial aid
4) If they didn’t have the language I wanted to learn (for me it was Chinese)
5) If the school was large
6) If it was too close to home
7) If it wasn’t coed</p>
<p>it’s different for each person, but these are a few of the things I considered</p>
