What things would make you immediately cross a school off your list?

<p>In this thread it seems like every possible combination has come up: too rural/too urban, too large/too small, too much sports/no D1, too STEM/too LAC. The only uncontradicted thing I think I saw was single-sex. </p>

<p>The only ones I would strike completely would be:

  • financially troubled
  • academic scandal in a relevant department
  • unsafe campus/area
  • draconian speech codes</p>

<p>Anything else would probably be worth investigating further even if it doesnt seem agreeable at first blush.</p>
