<p>As I see it you have three things to weigh;</p>
<ol>
<li> Core Competency of the programs you are subscribing to</li>
<li> Location of the college, and what kind of personal life it will offer you as well as the distance it is from your current support group</li>
<li> Type and size of student body; are they the type of people that will be compatible with you</li>
</ol>
<p>The third is probably the hardest to figure out. However, a look at the clubs and attendances might give you a good idea. Also, the general persona of Texans vs. Mid-westerners probably apply.</p>
<p>ABET accreditation is not important unless you’re interested in getting a PE license. You don’t need a PE license to practice aerospace engineering.</p>
