Choosing Colleges

[Aramail]

I'm starting to look at colleges... basically
What's more rewarding? location/education
What are some factors you wish you would've considered choosing a college
Any tips for choosing the right college

location, location, location. don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere, don't get stuck with loads of nerds, don't leave too close to your parents, try to live somewhere with nicer weather as the girls will look better

I disagree with nextgenneo.

unless you're really looking at top tier places academically, go wherever has the hottest girls.

This is true. The drop off after the very top is so much that it won't matter if you went to a 45th ranked school verses a second tier one.

also base it on football. Try to not pick one with a [censored] team. Also in my opinion a strong team, but not a team where if you lose a game the world is over. Also the south has a big advantage in hot girls who also are more naturally tan and get to walk around in skimpy clothes 4/5 of the year. If they have good programs in what you want to learn, even better

Girl wise I've probably been a little spoiled as I've lived in San Diego almost my whole life, and definently don't want to go somewhere too drastically different. The only time in my life I wasn't in SD I was in South Carolina and it was ok but I like SD better.

I've also been looking into the University of Hawaii (Manoa). Anyone know anything about the hawaii colleges?

I completely agree.

My $.02;

Pick the best school you can get into academically, then go down the list and apply to the next 3-4 schools that are known for their nice location or partying.
